Downloadable Books--The Orange Advantage Logo

Downloadable eBooks and audio are very popular. For many titles there are consortium-wide waiting lists.

These books are designated by the "Advantage" logo, which looks like this:

In order to access the Decatur copies of these books, you MUST LOG-IN FIRST with your library card number before you begin to search or browse. After logging in, the Decatur Advantage titles will then be displayed.
