Ebooks at the Library
Did you receive an ebook reader or ipad for
Christmas? From the Library’s website you can
download free ebooks and audiobooks to your ipad,
iphone, Android smartphone, Barnes and Noble
Nook or Sony EReader. The Kindle ereader is not
compatible with the Library’s ebook program. Some
of the latest titles are: “I Remember Nothing” by
Nora Ephron; “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak;
“Port Mortuary” by Patricia Cornwell; “Moon Over
Manifest” by Clare Vanderpool; and “Brazen Virtue”
by Nora Roberts.
If you don’t see a title that you want, email us at
pal@rcls.org and if it is available as an ebook we will
buy it.
More Space at the Library
Where there were once dusty reference books we
have created an open space where groups of 4-6 can
study and the Library Trustees can meet at an adult
size table. We are working with designers Tersigni
& Palachek to help us transform the space into a
meeting room for adult programs and movies. We’ve
already received lots of praise that the upstairs looks
brighter and more inviting.
Children’s Programs
All programs are free and held at the library. There
are 4 ways to register: in person at the library, by
phone 359-0136, email pal@rcls.org or use our
online calendar www.palisadeslibrary.org and get an
automatic email reminder.
