Widen Your World Without Emptying Your Wallet

A Monroe County Public Library card is a passport to information, education, and personal enrichment

A library card has long been seen as a way to get books — and more recently movies, audiobooks and internet access.

That's all still true! But there's a lot more that a Monroe County Public Library card can do for you, with no subscription fees or ads:

📖 We still have books, for every age in just about every genre. And now we offer them in multiple formats including print, eBooks and eAudiobooks. Explore our collection here.

🎞️ Watch movies and TV shows on our streaming app Kanopy, or on DVD. The collection includes recent releases, classics, documentaries, and international films, as well as kids' content.

🎶 Stream music with Freegal Music.

📰Stay updated and read newspapers and magazines – at the library or online, including New York Times digital access and 6,000+ magazine titles on Libby.

✏️ Looking to learn something new, even if you're not heading back to the classroom? Our language-learning app Mango has courses in more than 70 languages, including English as a second language. Are you a visual learner? Our streaming app Kanopy has instructional videos on almost any topic you can imagine, including the Great Courses.

💻Need some tech help? We've got free wifi, laptops available for two hours of in-library use, and printing, including mobile printing from your device. Need a little help? Our branches offer that — contact your local branch to find out how to schedule a help session.
