Kindles at the Library Open House!

The Century College Library has acquired 6 Kindles purchased with Student Tech Fee funds and have preloaded the following titles:
  • Hide in plain sight / Marta Perry 
  • Pride and prejudice / Jane Austen 
  • Zeitoun / Dave Eggers 
  • Jane Eyre /Charlotte Bronte 
  • Unbroken / Laura Hillenbrand 
  • The Help / Kathryn Stockett 
  • A Stolen life / Jaycee Dugard 
  • Safe haven / Nicholas Sparks 
  • Moneyball / Michele Lewis 
  • Until proven guilty / J.A. Jance. 
During Student Success Day, the Library will be having an open house from 10 am to 2 pm.  Stop by the library during the open house to try out the Kindles. After the open house ends, we will begin lending the Kindles. 

The Kindles will circulate for three weeks with no renewal. If you want to borrow one and they are all checked out, you can place a hold using our online catalog and we will notify you when one becomes available.

If you have your own Nook, our eBooks from EBSCO database has ebooks in downloadable PDF format. (Kindles may be compatible soon.)  From the library home page, click on the tab under Library Search labeled Articles, Databases & More, choose Databases A-Z or Databases by Subject, and click through.  If you are off-campus, you will need the 14-digit barcode from the back of your Century ID for your username.  Your password is your last name.
