Ohio eBook Project
The Ohio eBook Project is a statewide consortium of libraries that jointly provide free downloadable eBooks, audio books, music, and video to library customers.
Browse, “checkout,” and download to your computer and other supported devices for either 7 or 14 days. No overdue fines are charged and some audio books and eBooks are “always available” for download. Just use your Clermont County Public Library card and PIN to set up an account today!
The Ohio eBook Project offers users the option of searching the additional SEO Consortium digital collection for materials. This collection includes 600 Disney Digital online books, which are always available, but must be read on a computer.
A Digital Media Guided Tour and a step-by-step guide to get started are available on the Ohio eBook Project website.
You can also access eBooks through our online catalog.
