Why not try the Winnipeg Public Library?

Here are 3 videos made by Ms. Munro that walk you through some of the WPL website. If you're already familiar with the WPL, you can go straight here: https://guides.wpl.winnipeg.ca/e and look on the left-hand side for help with downloading items.

Below are some other options for free audiobooks, e-books and non-fiction articles online. I recommend checking out these sites with your child to make sure they are age appropriate before they explore them on their own. Any sites that require passwords have them listed on the Portal under Library Links (bottom right corner).
