The Reddick Lbrary is excited to offer these new services.
The library owns three different eReaders: Barnes & Noble Nook™, Sony Reader™, and Amazon Kindle. Our goal in starting this service is to offer you an eReader experience so you can make informed decisions should you decide to purchase one. You can decide whether this new technology delivers reading in a way that fits your lifestyle.
To reserve an eReader, call the library at (815) 434-0509 or stop by the Circulation Desk. A preference for one of the brands may be specified. You will then check out up to 3 e-books from the library’s e-book collection. Go to http://omnilibraries.org and follow the directions to place books in your e-cart. A library staff member will then download your book(s) to the eReader prior to checking the eReader out to you.
