eLS offers thousands of ebooks and eaudiobooks on our OverDrive and Sora platforms, as well as selected print materials in our library at the LACOE Ed Center. You can check out ebooks and eaudiobooks just like physical library books: the loan period is typically 21 days, and digital materials return automatically. Holds can be placed on unavailable items and checked out when they become available. You can also download your content for offline use, or in many cases, stream it, or send it to your Kindle or Kindle app.
