Try Out a Nook in the Library

Posted on April 20, 2011 by BSamek

Patrons looking to try out the Nook can borrow one for in-library use for up to two hours. Come to the Reference desk and talk to a librarian if you’d like to check out a Nook for in-library reading. And remember, there are a few Nooks available for Norwood patrons to check out for up to three weeks at a time as well. To take a look at what is on our Nooks or to request it you can take a look at it in our online catalog.
