Check out a Kindle for Winter Break

We just added three more titles to our Kindles:


  • Zero Day / David Baldacci
  • Steve Jobs / Walter Isaacson
  • The time of our lives / Tom Brokaw
We have several Kindles available right now that you could check out for winter break.  There are currently 18 titles on each Kindle, including Zeitoun, Century's common book.  We add a few popular titles each month. The Kindles 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.
