For those who love the convenience of downloading ebooks and audiobooks to their personal electronic devices, the opportunity to sign on with two new vendors is underway.
The State Library of Kansas and CCCC Library are pleased to announce the Kansas EZ Library of digital books available to all Kansas library users. Acting on behalf of Kansas libraries, the State Library of Kansas has entered into agreements with OneClickDigital (for downloadable audiobooks) and 3M (for downloadable eBooks).
OneClickDigital for audiobooks is available via the State Library of Kansas and CCCC Library. Books can be accessed at this site www.kslib.info/digitalbooks. Users must have a Kansas Library card that can be requested at CCCC Library.
Regular users of the download service will find the new interface with OneClickDigital much simpler and faster to use. Video and written tutorials are available at www.kslib.info/digitalbooks to assist individuals in using the new service.
In addition, the State Library will begin offering an ebook solution through 3M Cloud Library soon. Updates for the beginning of this service can be found on the www.kslib.info/digitalbooks site. The Kansas EZ library page also features other free audiobook and ebook resources available to Kansas readers.
On Dec. 5, Kansas ended its six-year contract OverDrive, a source for downloadable books. The books previously available for checkout through OverDrive and possibly on hold for patrons will no longer be accessible. However, thanks to the diligence of the State Library, many of the titles popular with customers have been transferred to the new vendors’ platforms, and now are available through the two new services.

Final Stage of Renovations....Summer 2011
The Library is currently in the final stages of renovations. The computer lab, staff offices, periodicals room and the archives room are currently without a ceiling and the final phase of the library HVAC system will be installed soon. After three long years of renovations, the library is almost done!
Although we are behind on summer projects from the last three years...we are looking forward to updated spaces with heating and cooling controls!
We look forward to seeing all of the students back for the fall semester!
Have a great Summer!!
