Digital e-Books and Audio Books
Here is some information on how to access digital and audio books, either for pleasure reading, or for reading that you might need to do for a course.
Pemberton & District Public Library
Your library card with the Pemberton & District Public Library not only gives you access to their physical books, but also to all of their digital resources. If you don’t have a library card, they are providing online registration to get a library card. Each person can register for one active library card. This temporary card gives access to most of their digital resources. When the library is reopened, they will then provide instructions to validate and receive your permanent card.
