With the Indie Author Project, provided by the Library of Virginia, anyone in Virginia can share their writing through the Indie Virgina collection. If you are just getting started, you can use Pressbooks Plus to create your eBook and then upload it to Indie Virginia. For authors who already have their eBook created, you can simply submit it to Indie Virginia.

Readers can also browse a collection of great self-published content from authors across the Commonwealth either with the BiblioBoard website or using the BiblioBoard app for iOS or Android devices. Find more information and get started at Virginia Writes.

Enjoy TV shows like Arthur, Sesame Street, Odd Squad, SciGirls, and much more, including: read-along storybooks and learning videos to explore topics like reading, writing, math, arts and science.

Everyone with a Richmond County Public Library card can register online with hoopla and download up to 5 free movies, music CDs, ebooks, audiobooks, or comic books each month. (Movies are loaned for 3 days, music CDs for 7, and ebooks, audiobooks, and comic books for 21 days – when due, they delete themselves).

Don’t have strong Internet at home? Just bring your smartphone or tablet or laptop where you have a strong wifi signal (like at our library!) and download there to watch, listen, or read later without an Internet connection. You can use your web browser or get a free hoopla app for your smartphone or tablet computer.

Just go to https://www.hoopladigital.com/ and click the “get started” button to create your own account using your Richmond County Public Library card barcode number when asked for it.
