ebook Downloads 

Electronic books and magazines are available through the Tennessee R.E.A.D.S. (Regional ebook & Audiobook Download System) program. By using the Libby or OverDrive app and your library card you can download anytime, anywhere!

When you try downloading a popular or new ebook through R.E.A.D.S., you often see it has numerous holds. This is because the TN State Library System manages the READS program for all Tennessee libraries. However, our library purchases ebooks that we own and it gives our patrons first priority over the downloading of these items. This reduces the number of holds on popular books.

When searching our catalog, if you see a title that states “electronic book”, this is one of our ebooks that we purchased. It can be downloaded from the TN READS System.
