Kansas State Library Digital Book eLending Program

What is it?

The State Library of Kansas works with Kansas libraries to provide digital library books for all residents, which includes downloadable audiobooks and eBooks. Most require a Kansas Library eCard for use. If you do not have a Kansas Library Card, come into the library and we will set one up for you.
