Accessing eBooks with your Library Card

In addition to physical books, the library has access to thousands of eBooks through West Virginia Reads. All patrons with the Doddridge County Public Library have access to these eBooks as long as they have a card that is up to date. eBooks can be read on a laptop, tablet, or phone, and apps are available for Android and iOS through the official OverDrive app called "Libby". The Libby app allows you to borrow and browse virtual books for free using your library card.
