Piscataway Public Library has expanded its download collection with the addition of eBooks at http://www.listennj.com. From the comfort of home, card holders can browse the collection, check out, and download eBooks and more anytime, anywhere.
eBooks can be read on a PC or Mac® using free reader software called Adobe® Digital Editions. eBooks can also be transferred to popular e-reading devices like the Sony® Reader and the Barnes & Noble nook™. Many eBooks feature reflowable text which allows a user to resize the text and alter the display to fit any screen size. The Sony Reader and the nook are designed to look and feel like a book and are great for users on the go. The devices feature E INK technology, a screen that reads like paper so it’s easy on the reader’s eyes.
Piscataway Public Library’s opening collection features over 400 titles. The collection includes authors from Edgar Allan Poe to James Patterson.
To check out eBooks and audiobooks, users need a valid library card, computer, and Internet connection. Once downloaded, digital media can be enjoyed on a computer and transferred to popular devices such as MP3 players, iPods®, Smartphones, and more. At the end of the lending period, titles automatically expire and are returned to the collection. Users may return eBooks early.
