eBooks & Digital Media
Lakewood Public Library will always have room in its burgeoning collection for good old fashioned paper books, but new digital formats have allowed us to expand our holdings far beyond the limits of our physical shelf space. We have partnered with Ohio Digital Library and Hoopla Digital to offer our patrons thousands of ebooks, audiobooks, movies and music titles—all without late fees and using only your library card number.
Ohio Digital Library
Hundreds of libraries across the state have banded together to share their electronic collections of eBooks and audiobooks, and Lakewood Public Library is proud to be a part of this collaborative. Ohio Digital Library titles can be searched from the Library catalog or directly from Ohio Digital Library.
Hoopla Digital
Hoopla Digital offers a robust collection of movies, TV shows, music albums, comics, eBooks and audiobooks to our library patrons. While many Hoopla titles can be found in the Library catalog, a more complete list can be found by searching Hoopla Digital.
