The partnership brings VIA on board with BiblioTech’s mission to enhance education and literacy, promote reading as recreation, and equip residents with necessary tools to thrive in our modern landscape. VIA supports BiblioTech’s ongoing work to bridge literacy and technology gaps in San Antonio and surrounding areas by establishing a community presence at physical locations as well as an online presence through the digital collections and resources.

BiblioTech Digital Library is the first all-digital public library in the United States, located in Bexar County, Texas. The library can be accessed 24/7 on mobile devices, using VIA’s free 4G LTE WiFi, available on all buses and at all transit centers.

Patrons can browse and download books from a collection of more than 40,000 e-book titles. Once a rider’s selections are downloaded to a mobile device such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop, the e-books remain available for two weeks before the titles are electronically returned.

Membership to the library is free to all Bexar County residents. Visit the BiblioTech website for more information.
