eBooks

We license our digital content from a number of companies (library vendors). The vendors require us to only allow our customers to access their products.  For most products we are only licensed for the citizens of Edmonton.   Your library card confirms your identity for the library vendors websites.

EPL subscribes to a number of Online Resources, some of which have their own borrowing limits and loan periods.

Tablets, smartphones and eReaders can all be used to download and read eBooks. Devices using Android, Windows and iOS operating systems are all compatible and among the most commonly used. Blackberry devices no longer support EPL eBook downloads.

Below are a list of devices and their compatibility: 

Our eBook collections vary by vendor, but most often support EPUB and PDF files, as well as read in browser options.
