Discover all the ways our library can help you thrive. From books and digital resources to technology, meeting spaces, and engaging programs for all ages, we're here to support your learning, creativity, and community connections every step of the way.
All databases are available in every branch of the Birmingham Public Library, unless otherwise noted. A JCLC library card can be used to access many of the databases, however licensing restrictions force us to limit access to certain databases to residents of Birmingham.
JCLC is pleased to announce that over 3,000 popular magazines are now available to download and read on any device 24/7. Users with a library card can read digital magazines alongside ebooks and audiobooks on Libby, the award-winning reading app from OverDrive, or by visiting http://jclc.overdrive.com/. Top titles include Us Weekly, National Geographic, Good Housekeeping, Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone and many other popular magazines, all supplied by ZINIO.
Requires a JCLC card. Remote Access Available.
