What's Happening...

While I can’t tell you which eReader to buy as a gift or for yourself, I can tell you that HPLD has a lot of book titles to choose from for nearly any device and the knowledge to help you access them. The first step is setting up your eReader (and in some cases your computer) so that you can read titles on your new device. Our staff have created videos and brochures to help you navigate this on your own if you like or, if you are a little anxious about taking this on solo, you can set up some time with a librarian to help you set things up and show you how to download titles. Our Book a Librarian appointments are completely free of charge and can be the most expedient way to get your new device up and running with library titles. Below you will find resources and links to help you make3 the most of your new reader.
