Greetings!
Thin and lightweight, the Kindle has the capacity to hold 1,500 books, magazines and newspapers. This month, the Winnetka-Northfield Public Library District began checking out Kindles to library users.
"What is unique about a Kindle is that each device is pre-loaded with multiple selections," says librarian Juli Janovicz. "For instance, if you checkout the Fiction Kindle, you can take home copies of The Help, Cutting for Stone, South of Broad and Her Fearful Symmetry all at one time. How fun!"
The library district has six Kindles, each filled with genre-specific books selected by librarians. You can check out the Fiction, History and Biography, Mystery and Suspense or Business Kindle for two weeks. In addition to the genre-specific Kindles available for checkout, each library has an eclectic mix Kindle for you to try at the library. Right now, the Kindles are only available to cardholders from Winnetka, Northfield and Kenilworth. |
