eRead Georgia
eRead Georgia provides streamlined access to freely check out ebooks and audiobooks available through public libraries, and it enhances access to statewide digital collections such as eRead Kids and the academic and leisure reading ebooks available through GALILEO*.
*Coming soon.
You can also check out ebooks and audiobooks from your local public library through apps like Libby and The Palace Project. All you need is your library card and library PIN. Find popular fiction and nonfiction ebooks, audiobooks, graphic novels, early readers, and more online using your preferred mobile device or tablet.
eRead Georgia is funded by Georgia Public Library Service and significantly alleviates the financial strain libraries experience when acquiring digital content, particularly for smaller library systems.
