AN IMPORTANT TIP FOR FINDING
"AVAILABLE-NOW" BOOKS:
OVERDRIVE ADVANTAGE: Downloadable eBooks have proven very popular. For many titles there are network-wide waiting lists.

These books are designated by the "Advantage" logo, which looks like this:
In order to access the Wayland copies of these books, you MUST LOG-IN FIRST with your library card number and PIN. The Wayland Advantage titles will then be displayed. Follow these instructions to have a better chance at finding copies that are available to check out right now!
Step 1: Go to http://digital.minlib.net and click "SIGN IN." Sign in with your Minuteman barcode and PIN.

Step 3: Choose a format that is compatible with your device, and click the "Only show titles with copies available" box.

Step 4: When you see a book you want, click the "add to cart" link next to the format (Kindle, ePUB, etc.) that is compatible with your device.
