PLEASE NOTE: Currently, a form of restriction is happening with eBooks. MacMillan Publishers wants to limit libraries’ ability to offer you multiple copies of popular eBook titles. Starting in November they will only allow CMPL to purchase only 1 copy of their books, which will increase hold times for eBooks. If you’re against this practice, please consider signing this petition to tell MacMillan you’re against this action here.
Digital Downloads are available to residents of Clinton and Macomb Townships (except the portion in the Mount Clemens School District). Nonresidents may be able to access digital downloads through their home library.
