Free eBooks from the Library!?



Yes! The Lake Forest Library is beginning a new service to provide free eBooks and Audio Books to library patrons using a device called the LibraryBox!

The LibraryBox is an easy to use resource for downloading free library content. There is no login required, no checkouts, and no holds: just find what you want and download!

The LibraryBox functions just like your wireless internet at home, you just need to bring a wireless-capable device (Kindle Fire, Nook Color, iPad, iPod, Android phone, or any laptop) to the library and find our network "LibraryBox". Once you connect, just navigate to any page and it will load the LibraryBox page.

Content will change on a regular basis, so be sure to check frequently! The LibraryBox is also mobile: it will be at the library until the end of May and move to various community businesses and hang-outs. First stop will be Caribou Coffee on Western!

Check our Twitter and Facebook pages for updates.

Want to get involved? Great! The second function of the LibraryBox is to promote community artists, writers, musicians and other creative people. We would be happy to host your content for free!

If you have questions about using the LibraryBox, want to put your creations on it, want to host it, or just curious about it email Matt Neer at mneer@lfl.alibrary.com.
