Bookfair and NOOK Demonstration

Online Bookfair Benefits Library
Russell County Friends of the Library are sponsoring a Barnes & Noble Bookfair. May 11-16 your purchases from barnesandnoble.com will benefit the Friends. Stop by or call the Honaker or Lebanon Library to get your shopping code to benefit the library. All you need is that shopping code to plug in at check out. You can also use the code May 11-16 at the Johnson City Barnes & Noble retail store. Books, especially a presentation Bible, make a great and lasting gift, whether for graduation, wedding or an anniversary. Music or a cookbook might be just the thing for a special Mother's or Father's Day present...or maybe Mom would like a NOOK, the Barnes & Noble e-reader! There's something for everyone and the Friends receive a small percentage of each sale, so call or stop by to get the code.

Explore E-books Live @ your library
What's all the buzz about e-readers, like the Kindle and NOOK? Find out May 11 at the Russell Co. Public Library. A Barnes & Noble rep will be on hand Wednesday afternoon, May 11, to show you how to handle the NOOK. There will also be NOOKs available for sale, with purchases benefitting the Friends of the Library. Stop by Wednesday, May 11 noon - 2 pm at the Lebanon Library and 3 - 4 pm at the Honaker Community Library.

E-readers are lighter than your average paperback, and you can carry MANY books on your one light-weight e-reader. You can adjust the print size; so no more checking if the book is available in large print. Reading hasn't gone out of style it's just gotten easier. The library provides free downloadable e-books and audio books. Download them and read at your convenience, thanks to your public library. Call 889-8044 or 873-6600 for more information.
