The Nano can hold about 15 books. You’ll get a recharger and a car audio kit when you borrow a Nano, so you can listen while you travel.

Read on-the-go with a Sony Reader from KPL! Roughly the size of a paperback novel (but thinner), the Sony Reader allows you to carry as much as you want to read wherever you go. Its high-resolution electronic paper display delivers a realistic print look that rivals traditional paper when viewed from a variety of viewing angles, even outdoors in bright sunlight. Text size is fully adjustable and battery life is almost limitless, allowing you to view tens of thousands of pages without recharging.

Choose from a wide variety of titles, including current best-selling fiction and nonfiction. Your suggestions are always welcome.

Readers may be borrowed for two weeks, but may not be reserved or renewed. For now, the Readers are available only at Central Library. Please contact us for more information.
