The Internet Archive - free online digital books

The Internet Archive is a nonprofit digital library that provides free public access to collections of digitised materials, including public-domain books. The Open Library is part of the Internet Archive which aims to be an online public library. The site contains the full texts of over one and a half million public-domain books, all of which are fully readable, downloadable and searchable. In the Digital Books section of Clare County Library’s website we have collected a selection of Clare and Irish interest books which are available through the Open Library and other sources. Links to the online books are arranged by subject. You may find material here of interest, particularly rare and out-of-print publications.
