The library has offered ebooks, which can be used with Kindles, Nooks, Sony Readers and laptops, for more than a year now, and it frequently adds new titles to its catalog of thousands. These are some of the freshest nonfiction picks:

Although some publishers won’t release ebooks to libraries, DBRL’s selection is still impressive. Readers can’t digitally borrow the latest Tom Clancy or Nora Roberts book, but they might find new favorites among the wealth of ebooks that are available.
