The Ann Arbor, Chelsea, Dexter, Saline and Ypsilanti District Libraries offer eBooks and audiobooks through OverDrive/Libby. You may wish to check to see if your local public library also has access to OverDrive. You can browse, check out and read books online at, or you can use the Libby app on your mobile device.

Most books have a default checkout period of 21 days.
