Free eBooks and Audiobooks

From Your Library:

Massachusetts libraries offer eBooks and Audiobooks through LEA, a program that makes eBooks and Audiobooks from libraries around the state available to you through the Libby app by OverDrive.

In addition to LEA,  any Massachusetts resident who has a BPL eCard have access to eBooks and comics through Hoopla, newspapers and magazines through PressReader, and audiobooks and magazines through RBDigital. All of these can be accessed through the BPL's website.

Once you borrow your eBooks and Audiobooks, you can start a digital book club with friends. Learn how to from Bustle.
