eBooks are now available!
Users may browse books, check out with a valid library card, and download to PC and Mac computers, and many mobile devices. Titles can be enjoyed immediately or transferred to a variety of devices. No Late Fees – As with all eBooks and other digital content at OverDrive-powered libraries, titles are available 24/7 and incur no late fees because they automatically expire at the end of the lending period. Users of mobile phones and iPads will need to download the OverDrive Media Console app. Kindle users simply browse or search for "Kindle Book," check out a title with a valid library card, and then click "Get for Kindle." Access to the Kindle Book will occur at Amazon's website after signing in and selecting delivery to the user's Kindle device or any of the free Kindle reading apps. “We’re excited to begin providing eBooks for people in Jackson, Macon and Swain counties. This gives our patrons more ways to enjoy free reading from their public library,” said Fontana Regional Library Director Karen Wallace.
