Study Abroad: UNM Library Services & Resources

Use your public library's ebooks & audiobooks

If you live in Bernalillo County, you can register as member of the Albuquerque Public Library.  If you are a resident in another county or state, you may be able to register as public library member there. Many public libraries have access to popular e-books and audio books that you can download through services such as Overdrive.  Visit your local public library's website to see what types of e-books  and audio books they have available -- often they have foreign language materials, so you can practice reading and/or listening.
