Streaming Videos

You know all about e-books and e-audiobooks, but did you know that the library offers streaming videos? Yes, you can now watch movies on your tablets and computers! Streaming means you don't have to wait to download the file, you are watching it in real time over the internet. 
Take advantage of this new service; it's free! No movies to return, no late fees!
You can currently choose from more than 1200 titles, and the list is growing.

Below I have put together step-by-step instructions on how to watch/borrow a streaming video from your library. It’s really quite simple. All you need is your library card number. Give it a try, and don't forget the popcorn!

Here is a link to the PDF file of the instructions. It is much easier to read and printable.
