BiblioBoard

Anyone physically in the state of Illinois can use this service. There is no limit on use; items can be read by 1 or 100 people at the same time. This means no hold queues and no waiting for titles! Unique curated boards showcase a variety of topics, including independent Illinois writers.

We encourage you to create an account profile. A BiblioBoard Library profile will allow you access while outside of Illinois, to download content for offline reading, and to add bookmarks and notes.

A Note from RBdigital on Wednesday, June 6: "Our magazine partner, Zinio, is experiencing a technical issue that is impacting the RBdigital magazine and comics service. This issue is causing intermittent time outs when patrons attempt to check out magazine and comic titles. The RBdigital and Zinio teams are working diligently to resolve this issue. We will provide an update as soon as more information is available."
