The Walpole Town Library offers you titles from bestselling authors through its partnership with the New Hampshire Downloadable Books Program.  Digital titles can be enjoyed in many ways:  on your personal computer or Smartphone; burned to a CD; or transferred to a portable device such as an MP3 player, iPod or iPhone. 

More information is available about this free program at the Circulation Desk or call (603) 756-9806.  You will need a valid card from the Walpole Town Library and user login information.
