Free eBooks, Free Online Magazines, and Free Streaming for Music and Movies with a Delaware Library Card

With the use of a Delaware library card, patrons can access free ebooks and other materials for free.

A library card grants patrons more than just access to printed books.

Having a Delaware library card can present residents throughout the state with helpful resources they can use to enrich their educational pursuits. 

Take a look at all the free things that Delaware’s library patients can use.

Scholarly Article Access

Delaware library cardholders (as well as the general public) can take advantage of the library system’s Open Access function, which grants patrons access to a massive number of high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly articles on a variety of subjects. In addition, patrons can also view free chapters of books, review reports, check out dissertations, and find lesson plans or lectures for students (or to study at home).

Research Tools

Delaware libraries also host an array of free research tools that cardholders can use at their convenience. These resources include various genealogy databases, the Delaware Digital Newspaper Project, LibGuides on a selection of subjects, MasterFile Premier (for magazines and other publications), Learning Express practice tests and skill courses, digital literacy assessments, sales lead resources, and homework help.

Online Media

Delaware libraries have thousands of pieces of online media available for patron use, including books and magazines, movies, music, TV shows, and much more. Try one of the following sources for the media type you’re looking for.

  • Hoopla - Movies, music, audio material, ebooks, and TV
  • Kanopy - Video streaming for movies, documentaries, and more
  • Flipster - Digital magazines
  • OverDrive - Books, audiobooks, and videos

Organizational Materials

Finally, the organizational resources available through Delaware’s library system can help information seekers track what they learn. For example, patrons can participate in reading programs, explore recommended book lists for different ages, and organize their individual thoughts.

  • Beanstack - encourages users to read more often and provides incentives for completing books
  • NoveList - Organizes book titles into concise lists that patrons can use to find books that fit their age groups
  • Unleash Inner Genius - This journaling tool makes it easy to record thoughts, including book reviews, ideas, and other pieces of information you want to organize. 

Public libraries have a lot to offer their communities. When more people are aware of their local library’s helpful efforts, they can not only be more supportive patrons, but make use of useful features and tools from the comfort of home.
