Ebooks for Your Mobile Devices

Did you know that you can download ebooks using your Lake Forest Library card to a wide variety of mobile devices including the Barnes and Noble’s Nook, and Apple’s iPad and iPhone? You just need to install a small piece of software to start. There is no charge for the ebooks.

Download directions are available on the MyMediaMall link  http://www.mymediamall.net/1F14DB0E-8BFA-4011-832C-F0DEBE38DFCE/10/342/en/Default.htm of the Lake Forest Library Gateway page. Or go to the Library Information page, click on "User Links" for step-by-step instructions for Apple devices  http://www.lakeforestlibrary.org/Apple%20iPad.pdf and for the Nook http://www.lakeforestlibrary.org/The%20Nook%20and%20MyMediaMall.pdf. Printed directions are also available at the Reference Desk.

 

Library ebooks check out in a similar way to print materials. You can check out up to 5 titles per card at a time. Ebooks can be checked out for 1-3 weeks. You can return the ebooks when you are finished or they will expire automatically at the end of the borrowing period. Ebooks do not renew but you can check them out up to three times.

There are a limited number of copies of each title. If the one you want is checked out you can reserve it. You will receive an email when it is available.  And remember, there are different formats so make sure you select the one that is compatible with your device.
