Ebooks and Audio Books

Are you looking for a good read this Summer? There are move ebooks and audio books than you could hope to read in a lifetime, free and at your fingertips. All you need is your Terrebonne Parish library card!

To explore the options we have available, go to our website and click on the "eServices" tab at the bottom of the page. There, you will find direct links to all of our ebook and audio book services. They all work slightly differently, so let's do a bit of a refresher!

Overdrive allows users to check out ebooks and audio books, and is one of our most popular and oldest ebook services. OverDrive allows you to have 5 items checked out at once. There's no limit to the number of items you can borrow on OverDrive! OverDrive has an app, and you can choose from the traditional 'OverDrive for Libraries' app, or the brand new Libby app. Both will reach the same content. 

Hoopla is the newest of Terrebonne's ebook services. You can check out seven titles each month. These titles include not only ebooks and audio books, but also comics, movies, TV shows, and even video courses from The Great Courses! Best of all, there is no waiting for Hoopla items. All of the items are available all the time. You'll never have to place a hold!

Freading is another great source for ebooks with no waiting. Freading has a wide selection of ebooks and is an ideal source for choosing your next book club pick. With a weekly limit of six items, there's plenty to keep you reading on Freading!

Finally, something for the little people in your life! TumbleBooks is an excellent platform for kids' ebooks. With fun features like Read Alongs and animated story books, kids will be entertained for hours. TumbleBooks also has math stories, videos, puzzles, games and graphic novels to keep your kids busy. I like to share it with my kids on long car trips. It's screen time, but it's also reading!
