Library Closed Memorial Day

WPL Closed Memorial Day

While the library building will be closed Monday, May 30, our eLibrary is always open. 

All of our eLibrary content is free- just make sure you have your library card handy. Here is a quick list of some of our most popular resources and what each offers:
  • Overdrive/Libby: Bestselling eBooks, digital audiobooks, popular digital magazines
  • Hoopla: no-lines-no-waiting eBooks, digital audiobooks, movies, TV shows, comics, music, and instructional courses.
  • Freegal: downloadable digital music
  • Mango Languages: language learning
  • Kanopy: thoughtfully curated movies, world cinema, documentaries, TV, and The Great Courses
  • America's News: hundreds of local and national newspapers from across the country. 
  • New York Times.com: full home access for FREE. No more articles behind a paywalls for you.
Don't forget that most of these fantastic resources are available as apps for your smartphone, tablet, or even smart TV! The Libby, Hoopla, Kanopy, and Mango apps are especially wonderful ways to access library content. 

If you are looking for content that will help you remember and honor those that made the ultimate sacrifice this Memorial Day weekend, we recommend: 
  • A Memorial Day playlist from Freegal
  • "Salute to Service" or "Tuskegee Airmen: Legacy Of Courage" History Channel documentaries on Hoopla
  • The Great Courses: American Military History taught by Gen. Wesley Clark on Kanopy
  • US History in Context database for primary sources, news articles, videos, and more to help you understand the whole picture around war and conflict. This resource on the first Gulf War is just one example of how you can just get the gist of a topic or take a deep dive by following links to other resources in one reliable source.
