Bunches of Books in your Browser

Via the Internet you have access to all kinds of online and downloadable full-text books that we’ve mentioned here before (Don’t forget Dayton Metro offers a wide variety of new and classic texts in various formats on our website: overdrive.daytonmetrolibrary.org ) but you’ll be surprised at what you can find at the Internet Archive. From the homepage www.archive.org click on the tab titled “Texts” for access to over 1.5 million texts.

Libraries across the world have scanned rare and not so rare books into digital formats. You can look at the most downloaded titles on the right, look at the newest additions via the link in the center, or browse specific collections a bit lower down the page.
