More Nook Classes

Help is on the way!

 The North Haven Library will be hosting two classes for Nook owners.  A representative from Barnes and Noble will be here on January 24 and 31, 2012 at 6:00pm in the Library’s Community Room. You will learn the basics of using the Nook, as well as how to download the library’s collection of ebooks.  Please have a Barnes and Noble account already set up before you attend, so that everyone can follow along together with their Nooks.

Call the library to register at 203-239-5803.  Space is limited.

Our E-Books are now Kindle compatible!

Overdrive downloadable e-books and audiobooks

The North Haven Library has offered free e-book and audiobook downloads since we joined the LION library consortium in June.  The service was compatible with most e-readers, tablets, smart phones and pcs — but not with the Kindle.  We are happy to report that most e-books are now Kindle compatible.  Here is a quick guide to get you started:

  • Choose a Kindle Book from the LION OverDrive site
  • Select Kindle and add to cart/checkout.
  • Click the ‘Get for Kindle’ button. This opens the Amazon.com website.
  • Sign in with your Amazon.com account if you are not already logged in.
  • Select your Kindle device or Kindle reading app. Click the ‘Get library book’ button and sync your device or app to download the book.  If your Kindle does not have Wi-Fi,  download to your PC, plug Kindle into a USB port, and drag and drop the download to the Kindle folder.
  • Start reading!

Did I read that already?

Did you know you can keep track of the items you previously checked out at the library?  It’s called Reading History, and you must Opt In on your LION library account.

From the LION Catalog, click on Login to My Account.  Type in your last name and library card barcode number.  On the left, click on the link for Reading History.  Click on Opt In, and from now on, every item you’ve checked out will appear on this list.  Happy reading, listening and viewing!
