Kindle sparks frustration
Kindle users, take heart!
 As any Nook worm will tell you, getting used to checking out library eBooks on your device may take a little bit of time. But we can help! And there are other resources you can access when the library's closed, as well.As always, if you have any questions regarding OverDrive (our digital distributor) or your own eReader, don't hesitate to come in and ask someone behind the circulation desk to help. That's why we're here! If it's midnight on a Sunday, however, and you're desperate for the latest eVanovich, there's plenty of online help available. We would recommend the Kindle help page of the digital media guided tour, which can be found on our library's website.
Good luck!

Now there's a mysterious door in the basement of Chip's new house, sealed with exactly 39 carriage bolts, and some of Chip's passengers (those who didn't survive, at least) are paying him a visit...
Harbor, by John Ajvide Lindqvist (due out Oct. 11) - From the author of the acclaimed Let the Right One In, this chiller centers on the mysterious vanishing of a 6-year-old girl.
