J.K Rowling's Harry Potter series is being added to the Wright Library Digital Collection and will be available for checkout beginning Thursday, March 29 at 9:00 a.m. from the Ohio eBook Project. All seven titles from the series will be available as ebooks (Kindle and EPUB formats) and audioebooks (MP3 format). Wright Library has purchased copies of each title and format that will only be available to our patrons reducing wait times for these popular books. This is the first time digital copies of the Harry Potter series have been available to library patrons. Check out a list of titles.
Wright Library has added a new vehicle repair and maintenance database to our online resources. ChiltonLibrary supplies a solution for the “do-it-yourselfer” that is easy to use no matter the skill level. Repair, maintenance, and specification tables provide critical data on thousands of domestic and imported models of cars, trucks, vans and SUVs from 1940 onward.
Users of ChiltonLibrary will benefit from the following:

Although the most direct way to download library books for your Kindle is over a WiFi wireless connection, sometimes that isn't a viable option. Some books are restricted by the publisher and sometimes a WiFi network isn't available. You can still get books on your Kindle, however, by downloading the ebook to your computer and transferring it via the Kindle's USB cable. Here are the instructions for doing that.
The presentation is best viewed as full screen, which can be obtained by clicking on the full screen icon in the lower right corner.
Ebooks and audioebooks continue to grow in popularity and Wright Library continues to make them available, along with digital music and videos, to our patrons. Join us in the Library's meeting room Tuesday, March 13, at 6:30 p.m. for a demonstration of how to access downloadable content from Wright Library's Digital Collection.
You will be taken step-by-step through the process of searching, checking out, and downloading ebooks, audiobooks, music, and videos. We'll talk about Kindles, Nooks, iPads, iPods, Zunes and other devices on which you can put this content, either directly or transferred from your computer.
No registration is required and there is no charge. Laptop computers will be available for hands-on instruction. If you have any questions, please stop in the Audiovisual department, call 294-7171 and ask for Brian, or email him at ebooks@wrightlibrary.org.
