NEWTON — If you are looking for activities and reading resources, look no further than your local library. We offer free internet access, the latest bestsellers, audiobooks, music, movies, and much more. Do you enjoy portable audio or e-book technology? The library subscribes to OverDrive, a NH Downloadable Books consortium for both audiobooks and e-books. (http://nh.lib.overdrive.com) From there you can download to the many compatible devices and enjoy your books on the go! A prefix number is required before you enter your library card number.
