Coming Soon: OverDrive
The Camden Twp. Library has joined a group of about 20 Michigan Libraries to offer OverDrive - an online service for Audiobooks & ebooks. We are in the process of setting this service up for our patrons. This service will provide patrons in good standing hundreds of titles of downloadable audiobooks or ebooks that can be used on MP3 players, home computers or even phones. We look forward to providing OverDrive to our patrons. Watch for details soon!
Free Resources through MeL
If you haven’t checked out the Michigan Electronic Library at www.mel.org , you are missing out on a ton of great resources. These are all free to Michigan Residents and can be accessed from any computer. (You will need to enter your MI driver’s license number as proof that you are a MI resident.) The Camden Twp. Library is also registered with the Michigan Electronic Library, so you can access MeL through our webpage. The MeL Databases include great student helps, book reviews, genealogy information, Chilton online, and practice tests for things like GED or Fire Fighter (and many more). That’s just a small sample of what MeL offers!
MeLCat is our State-wide Interlibrary Loan Program. This is free to patrons in good standing at the Camden Twp. Library. You can borrow items from across our great state from any computer - we are connected to over 300 Michigan libraries including: Public Libraries, School Libraries & College Libraries. If you haven’t tried MeLCat yet, stop in and let us show you how simple Interlibrary Loaning can be - you will be “ILLing” on your own in no time!
