Libraries Green with Kindle



From sea to shining sea, public libraries are turning to green methods for patrons to check out books.

For some time many libraries have offered e-books via digital downloads or even books delivered to your in-box of your email. Now libraries across the country are adding the newest electronic reading device, the Kindle from Amazon.com.

One of the first libraries to add Kindle is Howe Library in Hanover, New Hampshire, which carries the Amazon.com Kindle reader for library users to check out for typically a period of one week.

In March 2009, the Frank L. Weyenberg Library of Mequon and Thiensville in Wisconsin added the Kindle 2 for check out for their library patrons.

In Rancho Mirage, California, the public library offers Kindles for check out, which the library has preloaded with books from the New York Times Bestseller List.

New Line Press books are available for Kindle readers in addition to other digital formats, including Sony readers, iphones, and Mobipocket.com.
