The library has many ways to try and make it easy to get great books to read and have them available to you wherever you find yourself with time to read. Visit internationalfallslibrary.us/catalogs/ for links to Overdrive, the digital service shared with the other Arrowhead Library System libraries providing access to over 28,000 e-books and audiobooks, Hoopla, the digital service that provides access to hundreds of thousands of books, audiobooks, comics, music and more and E-Books Minnesota, a statewide collection of books published in Minnesota, about Minnesota or by Minnesota authors.
