Library Now Loaning E-Readers to Patrons

The e-Readers are available to anyone with a Shorewood-Troy Library card in good standing.

Editor's note: The following is a press release from the Shorewood-Troy Public Library.

The Shorewood-Troy Public Library now has loanable Kindle and Nook e-Readers available for checkout. Each device comes with its own set of pre-loaded content for adults, teens, and children.

"Checking out an e-Reader is a great way for patrons who are toying with the idea of buying one to try it out first," said Leslie Lovato, assistant director at the library. "The patron will have a chance to explore the device without committing to an expensive purchase."

The e-Readers are available to anyone with a Shorewood-Troy Library card in good standing. For patrons who already have an e-Reader device, the library also offers free ebooks through its OverDrive and 3M downloading services.

For more information or to place a hold, contact the library at (815) 725-1715.

There is a way to make up some of the $21 million...charge a rental fee for each reader. See even they are showing people that they no longer need books with these. They say they have no room to house books but yet can store them all digitally and use these readers.

http://beaconnews.suntimes.com/news/18191773-418/yorkville-library-faces-budget-crisis.html We have a library now that is in good shape, now you want to stick us for $21 million. We don't want to end up like them. Vote NO April 9th for library referendum to increase our taxes.
