Library Now Loaning E-Readers to Patrons

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.
