Library help for Betty

If you have a library card for the Pope County Library System and a password to sign in at their website, you can get free ebooks to read on your computer.


You go to the library website, no need to login at first.  Click on their Library 2 go logo, then click on the quick start guide


OR just go here, because that is where it will take you.

Scroll down and look for the Orange ad on the LEFT side of the page about half way down that says
Advantage library patrons sign in to see available content.


You click on the sign in link and you get a drop down list to choose your library. That is Pope County, you know.  You sign in with your library barcode and your library password.


The books that say Add to Cart are available for download.  Others will say place a hold or add to wish list. These are putting your name on a list for when they become available.  I guess it is like real books in that they can only loan out a limited number of each book.  The help site says if you put one on hold or on your list, they will email you when it becomes available and you have, I think, three days to download it.


After you download one, it opens in Adobe Digital Editions.  When you want to read more, you open Adobe and it is there, if you only have one book. If you have more than one, you have to do like Patsy and figure out how to go from one book to another. She did it so surely you can.  It keeps your place for you and opens the book back to where you were when you closed the book. Just like a real bookmark.


If you want to do this Saturday, I should be home and you can call the help line here.
