Kindle Touch

New: E-Readers at the Library
Thanks to HCCEF

Thanks go to the Hardin County Community Endowment Foundation for its gift of $425.00 to help purchase six e-book readers for the library.  The e-readers the library purchased are the Kindle Touch model.

The library will use these e-readers on those occasions when it makes more sense to provide patrons an e-book instead of a paper book.

Sometimes an e-book is the only format available.

Another reason to use e-books is fast delivery.  Typically we'll fill your request with a paper book, but if appropriate we have the capability to provide same day e-book delivery.

The ability of the readers to make the font bigger opens up a universe of e-books available for our large print readers.

Sometimes using e-books is going to save us money.  Many e-books are cheaper than regular books.  If we have a request for a book no one else is likely to read and we can't get it through interlibrary loan we'll consider getting an e-book.  There may also be times when an e-book may be cheaper than postage and save us money from doing an interlibrary loan.  There may even be times when an e-book is free.

One thing I want to point out is that the Kindles are registered to the library and can't be used by patrons to download books or access the NEIBORS service.
