Did you know that we have 3 regular Kindles, 1 Kindle touch, and 1 large (DX) Kindle available for borrowing? Now that the hoopla has died down regarding the Kindle, our library devices have a much shorter waiting list. If you do not have an e-reader of your own, or if you’d like to read something that we have purchased for our Kindle, then you are in luck! We have over 50 adult bestselling titles loaded. We add more titles as time goes on so there is always something new. Give us a call to put a Kindle on hold for you. These are perfect for taking on vacation—an entire library in one place! We also are open to suggestions when it’s your turn to borrow. Please submit requests and we’ll see if we can accommodate your taste.
New things are always happening here at the library! In addition to the Kindles mentioned above, we now are proudly sporting a Nook Simple Touch e-reader. So what’s so new about that? Our Nook has young people in mind. This Nook is pre-loaded with the 2013 nominees for the Isinglass and Flume lists. The Isinglass books are nominated by middle school students, while the Flume titles are nominated by high school students. This means the Nook is slated for tweens and teens even though adults may be interested in teen fiction. We are asking that someone the age of 18 or older be the one who actually checks the Nook out because of the replacement cost value. Please consider checking out the Nook for your tween or teen reader. It may also be a way to get your reluctant reader started into the world of ebooks. You may place a hold on the Nook over the phone or from your computer. Take a look at the list below of what’s currently on the Kimball Simple Touch Nook.
