A look at what is happening around Seekonk and Swansea
Seekonk Public Library is excited to offer our card holders access to over 20,000 always available eBooks with Freadingâ„¢.
Using Freading, registered card holders of the Seekonk Public Library can select desired eBook titles by clicking on Freading on the library website or going directly to seekonkpl.freading.com. The library has purchased this subscription to supplement our Overdrive eBooks with thousands of contemporary titles, none of which require waiting in line to download. Genres available include fiction, nonfiction, children’s, and graphic novels; new titles are added weekly.
Titles are checked out for two weeks, but can be renewed. The number of titles each patron can borrow is based on a token system. Each title is worth 1 - 4 tokens and every week, each patron is given 6 tokens for checkouts. Unused tokens roll over each week for a four week period and reset back to 6 tokens at the end of the four weeks.
