Tens of thousands of electronic books

Access complete versions of books online!

Centralia College library subscribes to eBrary, which provides access to over 18,000 books on a wide variety of topics that are likely to be relevant to community college students.

If you're into classics, you'll love Google book search. It's free, and though it only offers limited previews (featuring, in many cases, most of the book) of millions of books, complete versions of most classics by well-known authors are available for free. (That's because the copyright protection for books published before 1923 has expired, so they are now public domain.)
