​With the temporary suspension of in-person access to library services, it’s the perfect time to take advantage of the many digital resources available at your library. Borrow ebooks, downloadable audiobooks, digital magazines, and streaming videos from the Library for FREE.
 
You can access Sedona Public Library’s digital collections from your ereader, tablet, smartphone, or computer. All you need to get started is your library card and your PIN.
 
Here are a few of the most popular digital services offered by the Library, all accessible on our website, www.sedonalibrary.org.
 
OVERDRIVE is a free service that lets you borrow ebooks and downloadable audiobooks from your library. Whether you use OverDrive’s classic app or their streamlined Libby app to check out books, the Library’s OverDrive digital collection offers many great features:  downloads of up to six titles at a time, no late fees, and immediate reading of ebooks or listening to audiobooks. OverDrive for Kids is also available.
