In our continued quest to be a library for everyone, we strive to offer the widest possible access with the fewest barriers as possible. That’s why we are thrilled to launch our latest initiative for easy and fast access to digital library materials: an epop-up library. This new curated collection offers free, seven-day access to titles and selections curated by our Oak Park librarians.
Who can use this service?
Anyone with a device to download and read ebooks, from wherever they are. This service does not require an Oak Park Public Library card. (But of course we encourage you to get one if you live, work, or teach in Oak Park!)
How do I access ebooks?
