Download Audiobooks & eBooks

The Elmhurst Public Library is pleased to offer two collections of audiobooks and eBooks that can be accessed from the comfort of your home or office 24/7. We have thousands of titles to choose from including fiction, non-fiction, kids’ books, and classics. These books can be downloaded to your computer, MP3 player or PDA device. All books are automatically returned so you incur no late fees!

We currently have access to two separate catalogs for these digital materials. Please read about each catalog below and consider going through the product tutorials before getting started.
