Ebooks Minnesota is a digital ebook collection for all Minnesotans. The collection covers a wide variety of subjects for readers of all ages and features content from our state's independent publishers, as well as national and international publishers.
Access is seamless and restriction-free. Validated automatically by Minnesota IP ranges, the collection requires no logins, card numbers, or DRM. Readers benefit from unlimited simultaneous access with zero waitlists or return deadlines, while the state holds permanent ownership of most titles in the collection.
IP Address Authentication
Ebooks Minnesota uses geolocated IP authentication, so no sign-in authentication should be needed. The process works for the vast majority of Minnesota residents.
For Library Staff
If your library is not able to access the collection, you can submit your IP address range(s) through our MyLibrary Portal.
Create a Minitex MyLibrary account here—when the form asks you to choose a service, be sure to select "IP Address Manager."
