The library purchases eBooks wherever possible.  These are designed to be read online although some will also let you download for a period of time.

The advantage of an eBook is that as long as you have access to the internet you will be able to access them wherever and whenever you want, in many cases you can make notes on them, highlight text, and bookmark pages.

Searching on Primo will discover both print and eBooks.
