Library offers e-books for Kindle

Last week, Liberty Lake Municipal Library announced its e-book collection is now compatible with the Amazon Kindle. Patrons can now download popular and classic e-books to a Kindle device or any mobile device running the free Kindle app.

According to Library Director Pamela Mogen, the service comes through the library's partnership in the Washington Anytime Library.

"It used to be just audio books, but in the last year (The Washington Anytime Library) added e-books," Mogen said. "The big deal now is that Amazon finally agreed to allow it on the Kindle."

To get started, patrons can visit the website anytime.lib.overdrive.com for instructions on using the Kindle with the library's service. Kindle users can browse the library's collection of bestselling and classic e-books from a PC or Mac computer, check out titles using a library card, and select "Get for Kindle" to deliver e-books to their Kindle devices.

At the Liberty Lake Municipal Library, e-book titles are accessed through a link on the library's catalog page. For more information, visit www.libertylakewa.gov/library.

In addition, the library also opened a self-checkout station this summer. Patrons can bypass lines to checkout or renew items with a library card or barcode number.

To start the process, patrons scan a library card and then each book. When scanning is complete, the user presses a finish button and a receipt prints with due dates. Patrons also have the option to have receipts e-mailed.

In other news:

• The library reconvened the "Books and Brews" book club after a summer hiatus. The all-age adults group meets the third Thursday of every month at 6:30 p.m. to discuss selections from the Pulitzer Prize-winning fiction list.

• Author David Mogen will talk about his book "Honyocker Dreams" at 7 p.m. Oct. 11. The book discusses the people and events he experienced in Montana while growing up in the Hi-Line.
