Library: Checking out E-Books at Avenues
If you can't find what you're looking for in our print book collection, you can browse our e-books available through the Avenues library catalog.
Here's what you can find in our ebook collection:
- Best-selling fiction (like On the Come Up, Two Can Keep a Secret, Dry and more)
- Classic literature (like Pride and Prejudice, Jane Eyre, and more)
- Plus, non-fiction books for research
E-Books always show up in a standard library catalog search (here), but a more robust way to browse the collection is to visit Destiny Discover.
Once you're on the site, click on "Login" in the upper right hand corner. Then, choose the option to log-in using Google.
On the main page, you'll see a strip of book titles across the top. These are just a few of our popular e-books. Click "See All" to filter the collection by all of our e-books.
In e-books, you can filter by genre, subject, author, etc. This is what it looks like once you've filtered the books by Historical Fiction.
When you find a book you'd like to read, click the "Checkout" button in the description. This saves the book into your account.
Then, you can access this book by going back to the homepage, choosing the main menu (the three stacked lines in the left corner of the page) and then selecting "Checkouts".
You'll see your book and can click "Open" to read it.
Once you've opened the book, you can use the menu in the upper left corner to download an offline copy or to jump to different chapters.
Happy reading!
