Greater Phoenix Digital Library

Greater Phoenix Library logoThe Peoria Public Library is now offering downloadable ebooks and audio books through the Greater Phoenix Digital Library. This collection lets you download your choice of thousands of bestsellers and classics, fiction and non-fiction. Both digital audiobooks and eBooks can be used on a variety of devices such as PCs, laptops, MP3 players, eReaders, Kindle and supported PDAs and smartphones. This site offers digital audiobooks in the OverDrive Media Console™ format, and eBooks in the Adobe® Reader® and Mobipocket Reader formats. To access digital books at Greater Phoenix Digital Library, you will need:
  • Access to the Internet from your own personal computer (Please note that digital books can be enjoyed at home, at work, or when you travel, but are generally not for use on the computers in your library).
  • A Valid Peoria Public Library card and PIN
  • Free software for the device on which you wish to use your digital book (available at the Greater Phoenix Digital Library site)
  • A compatible device (optional)*

You are able to check out a book and enjoy it for the checkout period. Titles cannot be renewed, but you can check them out again if they are available when the checkout period ends.

You can browse or search the Greater Phoenix Digital Library site for digital books. When you locate a title of interest, simply add it to your Digital BookBag for up to 15 minutes and check out the title.

If the desired digital book is not available, you may place a hold on the title.

Once you have checked out the digital book, a download page will be displayed. Click the download link to download your digital book. Once the download is complete, you can close your Internet connection and enjoy your digital book offline.

You will never accrue late fees with digital books. At the end of the digital book loan period, the title will expire and be automatically 'returned' to the library. At this time, you can delete the expired file from your machine.
