The Roachdale-Franklin Township Public Library, as well as the Putnam County Public Library (and over 230 other Indiana public libraries) are part of a digital consortia, Indiana Digital Library.
How do you get started??
You will need your Roachdale Public Library card number and PIN (the last 4 numbers of your library card – contact us if you need it reset). We are using the same platform as the Putnam County Public Library, so if you are not a Roachdale/Franklin Township resident, you can STILL use the service. You’ll just need your Putnam County Library card number and PIN (the last 4 digits of your phone number).
Now even EASIER to access – download the app : Meet Libby!
(Available for Apple, Google Play, and Microsoft)
Indiana Digital Library – Your e-book home
E-books for toddlers & preschoolers?????
For parents and grandparents who utilize phones or tablets with their young ones, Indiana Digital Library does offer options for FREE books. Narrated books are one option – the text is highlighted as the book is read out loud. There are a variety of favorite characters ( Clifford, Dora, Paw Patrol, Bubble Guppies) in addition to favorite classic stories.
If you are planning to utilize Indiana Digital for toddlers or preschoolers, we recommend getting a library card for the child, as you will have 5 check-outs at a time. You are also able to control what your child is able to see using parental controls or using the kids’ room entry. Take a look at some offerings here: OverDrive – Get started!
