The Sunflower eLibrary offers a large variety of ebooks and audiobooks for all ages to anyone with a Sterling Public Library Card account. The Libby app makes it easy to read and listen on a mobile device.
This collection has over 5,200 popular juvenile fiction (for ages 18 and under) titles divided into genres like romance, mystery, fantasy, and graphic novels. They also have a nice selection of beginning readers and nonfiction. Titles include: Boxcar Children, Big Nate, Harry Potter series, Diary of a Wimpy Kid, and much more. For the month of April, they are offering free, unlimited access to the book one of the Harry Potter series. Learn how to access this resource here (scroll down the page to Sunflower eLibrary). My two favorite sources for digital books are Sunflower eLibrary and RBdigital because they have a large selection of popular titles I want to read.
