Online Library


Finding it a bit too cold to venture outside to visit the library? Do not fret - you still have access to online library materials at http://www.missoulapubliclibrary.org/ -- your portal to The Missoula Public Library's Virtual Branch Library.

From the homepage you have access to MontanaLibrary2Go downloadable audio book service, a self-paced online Web 2.0 class, 24-hr Reference service, and online book clubs. You can also click the "e-Databases" link to view a listing of online resources available free of charge with your library card. Some popular databases include:
  • NovelList Plus -find a good book to read. Take a look at the Author Read-alikes, "What We're Reading"suggestions, Book Discussion Guides, BookTalks, and Annotated Book Lists.
  • Heritage Quest -research your family history
  • Auto Repair Reference Center -find automotive information dating back to 1945 for all major makes and models of vehicles. Also includes basic care and repair tips and a troubleshooting guide
  • Alexander Street Press Online Music -create playlists and listen online for free to music from the Classical Music Library, Smithsonian Global Sound, or African American Song. For a fee you can download music to your PC.
These are just a few examples of online resources you have access to from home. To find more, explore the library's homepage or call us at 721-BOOK.
