"The only words that ever satisfied me as describing Nature are the terms used in fairy books, charm, spell, enchantment. They express the arbitrariness of the fact and its mystery."

—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) British writer, critic

 

Welcome to the Cumberland County Public Library!

What's Happening!

E-Books!

The library has teamed up with Axis360 to bring you a brand new collection of e-books!  Our e-book collection is compatible with Kindle Fire, Android, iOS (Apple iPhone, iPad, etc.), and Windows computers and devices.  The e-books should work with Nooks in the near future.

E-books check-out for 2 weeks and you can have up to 3 borrowed books at a time.  To get started, you will need to download Blio.  Then create a free account (this is how you will access your books).

Once you have Blio, head over to our e-book site and check out our collection.  Click the image below and sign in using your library card number (include the "P," with a space before the number), and a 4-digit PIN.  Create a free account, and off you go.

Here are instructions to get going if you have a Kindle Fire: Instructions
