What do I need?
  • A library card - Monterey Public Library OR Pacific Grove Public Library.
  • A computer connected to the internet OR an Apple or Android device
    capable of downloading apps OR a Kindle.
  • Free software to play your digital books. You must download and install the
    software from the Digital Library web site before you can enjoy your books. Books may require Adobe Digital Editions, iTunes, Overdrive Media Console, Windows Media Player, and/or Kindle software.

Any book downloaded from the Digital Library will play on your PC. Many will also play on ipods, mp3 players, eBook readers, and/or Apple computers. Some can even be burned to a CD for your personal collection. This depends on the digital rights or permissions selected by the publisher of the book.
