For Ebooks Via NClive 
NCLive offers access to tens of thousands of non-fiction and classic fiction titles.  NCLive ebooks are read in a browser window so they work best on a computer or tablet device and will not work with Kindles and some other ereaders.

Other Sources for Free Ebooks

The library is not affiliated with any of these sites and has no control over their offerings or content.  Each site has its own download procedures but most of them work with any ebook reader. Some may require special apps. All of these sites offer free ebooks but some of them sell books as well.
