eBooks are Here!

Mercer County Library is pleased to announce the arrival of eBooks to our collection. Through our parternship with other area libraries, ListenNJ now provides downloadable eBooks along with our downloadable audio book collection. The initial collection features over 400 titles with more being added monthly, including works by popular authors such as James Patterson and handy non-fiction titles such as The 250 Job Interview Questions.

eBooks are electronic versions of a print publication and can be read on a Mac or PC as well as an eBook reader, such as the Sony Reader or Barnes and Noble nook. Many eBooks feature re-flowable text which allows a user to resize the text and alter the display to fit any screen size. In order to read eBooks downloaded from ListenNJ, you will need to download free software from Adobe, called Digital Editions. Once the software is installed, just log on with your library card and download a book - no matter the time of day, since ListenNJ is a 24/7 service (and we won't even know if you are wearing bunny slippers!)

For those of you who are curious about eBooks or ListenNJ, feel free to come to our classes at the Lawrence Branch. On March 12, we'll be doing a demo on ListenNJ at 2:00pm, followed by an eBook demo at 3:30pm.
