E-Books for Riverdale residents

DigitalNJLibrary is our connection for e-book borrowing through the library system. Some wait lists for popular titles can discourage borrowers, so in response, the Riverdale Public Library is purchasing e-books that are only available to our residents. They are available through DigitalLibraryNJ, just like any other library e-book. Make sure you login with your card, and then search the collection. You will see a symbol  on the book jacket, indicating our library has purchased additional copies for our patrons.

An e-book reader? We'd love to hear what titles you are waiting for. Give us a call at 973-835-5044 or email: riverdalelibrary@nac.net.
