Your Jacksonville Library Card Can Unlock More Than Printed Books

Jacksonville Public Library's digital offerings give residents a way to read, listen and watch without making a separate trip to a branch. The collection includes services for ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and streaming video, alongside tools for learning and research.

Choose one service to begin

The library lists Libby for ebooks, audiobooks and magazines, Hoopla for several media formats, and Kanopy for films and documentaries. Its digital guide explains that a library card number and PIN are used to sign in. Each service has its own collection and borrowing arrangements, so start with the one that fits what you want to read or watch.

Getting connected

Resident cards are free with proof of Duval County residence, according to the library's registration page. Existing cardholders who have lost their information should use the account-recovery option rather than applying again. Parents can review children's collections and available content controls before sharing a device. If signing in is the obstacle, contact the library for help. Trying a single book or film is an easy way to learn the process before adding more apps to your phone.
