The Perth & District Union Public Library has launched access to Cantook, a digital platform offering French eBooks and eAudiobooks for all ages. The collection includes over 11,000 eBooks and 1,300 audio titles from Franco-Ontarian, Québécois, and international publishers. Popular translations and authors like Louise Penny, Kristin Hannah, Sarah J. Maas, and Michael Connelly are also available.
Library Specialist Emily Fournier said the new service, provided through the Ontario Library Service consortium, allows the library to “support our French readers with many more and regularly updated titles than we could on our own.” The platform includes selections for adults, teens, and children, making it easier for French-speaking families and learners to access content from home.
The French eBook and eAudiobook collection is available to anyone with a Perth & District library card. Users can browse and borrow titles online at perthunionpubliclibrary.cantookstation.com.
