Interactive learning stations give visitors an opportunity to search the library's digital media collection, use supported mobile devices, and sample digital materials.

The library offers more than 61,000 titles in its digital media collection. Customers can access the collection through the library's website round-the-clock with a valid library card, Internet-accessible computer and free software for the computer and/or device being used.
