Ebooks at Your Public Library

You can borrow print books from Colorado public libraries through Prospector. Unfortunately, eBooks cannot be borrowed through Prospector. You will have to have a library card from the public library to use their eBooks, but it is easy to get a library card.  Public libraries often have large eBook collections, especially of popular books.  You can access the eBook collections of several metro area public library districts below.
