Downloadable Reads for Your Trip!

Headed off on vacation over the next couple of weeks? Be sure to download eBooks, eAudiobooks and magazines from the library before you go!

Overdrive lets you download up to five eBooks and/or eAudiobooks at a time to your iPad, iPhone, Kindle or other device. You can borrow them for two weeks and you don't even have to worry about late fees! There's great beach reading by the likes of Daniel Silva, Janet Evanovich, Nora Roberts and many, many more. Simply download the app for iOS or Android or visit the MyMediaMall site for other devices.

Don't forget your downloadable magazines through Zinio. We've got great titles like Chicago, Bloomberg Businessweek, Esquire and Martha Stewart Living, and once you check out a magazine it remains in your library until you decide to delete it. Back issues are available as well. Bon voyage and happy reading!

Now Available: Ebooks for Kindle

Many of you are familiar with My Media Mall, our site for checking out ebooks. Finally, you can check out books from My Media Mall to your Kindle! Start by visiting My Media Mall and click on the picture that says Now Available: Library eBooks for Kindle (or you can scroll down and choose the Kindle option under Collections). You can add books to your cart or place a hold if there is not currently a copy available. When you check out, you will be sent to the Amazon site where you will be given the option to send the book to your Kindle.

Ebooks from My Media Mall can also be checked out to Kindle apps (on devices like iPad, iPhones and computers) and the Kindle cloud reader. You will need to be on a wireless network to check out books wirelessly - 3G only Kindles will need to have the usb cord attached to transfer a book.

It's all fairly straightforward but if you have questions, please contact the reference desk!
