Ask WCCLS: E-Content

Our digital library is full of titles and features that make it easy for your child to enjoy great digital books! Our kid-friendly landing page features changing displays of titles, so you can see what's new. Click on Collections to see reading lists like the Oregon Battle of the Books (OBOB) titles. 

We have picture books, early readers, comics, and chapter books, from classics to current titles. Read-along titles are available as picture books and early readers. Read-along books have a narrator read the book, and the words are highlighted as they are read. These are great for beginning readers!

You can also limit your search to books based on Interest Level, ATOS, Lexile, or Text Difficulty. Learn more about these standardized reading levels.

We also offer a great selection of audiobooks for young listeners! Use the Libby app to download and enjoy them on long car trips, or for kids to listen to on their own.

We add new titles for kids and teens all the time to make it easy to find something great for your child to read or listen to. 

I want my child to be able to easily browse for age-appropriate titles. How do I do that?

We offer two web portals for our digital library books - one for kids, and one for teens. These display titles marked as appropriate for juveniles (kids) or young adults (teens) by the books’ publishers. 

I want to set the maturity level of titles that my child accesses in the digital library. How do I do that?

As a public library, we provide books for all ages, interests, and tastes. It is up to you to decide what is appropriate for your child to read. To make this easier, you are able to set audience filters in your child’s OverDrive account settings. The filters you can choose from are:

• Juvenile: kids fiction and non-fiction
• Young adult: teens fiction and non-fiction
• General adult: general fiction and non-fiction
• Mature adult: for readers over the age of 18 (e.g. erotic literature)
