Great Reads for Teens!

While students are home for the remainder of the school year, it is important for them to read to keep their reading and reading comprehension skills sharp. The West Bloomfield Township Public Library offers three services that offer access to eBook and eAudiobooks. From the eLibrary page on the Library’s website, links are available to CloudLibrary, OverDrive and Hoopla. Tablet and phone apps are available for each service, and a West Bloomfield Township Library card is required to sign in to each.    The Library has created some genre lists containing eBooks and eAudiobooks from all three services.
