E-reader devices available at the library

So in regards to this weeks discussions and an experience that happened today at the library, I would like to discuss an opportunity available at the public library, which I think is worth exploring for libraries not doing this.  The Phoenix Public Library has started a program called Project Nook.  Patrons have an opportunity to check out a nook to access e-books.  Patrons utilize this program for various reasons including trying out an e-reader device, needing access to a specific book not available at the library, etc.  Many of the customers who have utilized this program have found great value in the program.  When I explained the program to a customer at the library today, they were very impressed and thought it was great the library was offering this service.  Project Nook can be visited at this link for people to read about.

  1. I like the warning to not return the NOOK to the bookdrop. I can only imagine the damage. Children under 12 cannot check out a NOOK, but I wonder if they get to use it within the library. Introducing them to this technology would be a great learning experience.
