Milwaukee
Public Library offers electronic books to our customers. This permanent
collection of over 8,000 netLibrary titles is available on-line to
City of Milwaukee residents with a Milwaukee Public Library card,
or by accessing the netLibrary site from a computer within any Milwaukee
Public Library. The non-fiction e-books can be read
through the netLibrary
Web site, our partner in this project. The Milwaukee County
Federated Library System pays for this subscription.
