Douglas County Libraries is moving on up!

In 2008, Douglas County Libraries moved from 7th to 4th place nationwide among libraries serving populations of 100,000 to 250,000.

The ratings are based on statistics collected from nearly 9,000 public libraries measuring 15 factors. The focus is on circulation, staffing, materials, reference service, and funding levels.

Douglas County Libraries now offers the new Apple compatible MP3 format in its eMedia2Go.org collection.

Download audiobooks to your Ipod as well as hundreds of other compatible players. You'll find popular fiction and nonfiction authors for children, young adults and adults in a variety of popular genres. This new format offering is in its infancy and all audiobook publishers are not currently offering DRM-free (Digital Rights Management) downloadable audiobooks. Watch our collection grow. You can download audio and video at eMedia2Go.org. Please have your library card handy.
