- The library subscribes to a downloadable audio and ebook program though the Maine State Library, which is free for patrons to use. Use the 4 digit number assigned to you on your library card to access this free service by going through the Maine State Library home page under Popular Services.
- We subscribe to the streaming service Hoopla for our patrons. Hoopla allows each patron to borrow 5 items per month. It provides access to movies and television shows, ebooks, audiobooks, and music for all ages. You can sign up for it by using the barcode on your library card (or call us if you can’t find your card).
