E-book Party Wrap-up

On Thursday, April 5 the MAMS library hosted an E-book Launch Party during Advisory. About 20 students attended to learn how to borrow e-books and Nooks from our library. Students were able to check out the Nooks for the first time. Check out some pictures below! 

 

The Nooks are here!!!!

Good News! The MAMS Media Center now has e-books available for you to borrow. If you have your own Nook, Kindle, iPhone, iPad or Droid phone, you'll be able to read books on it. The best part of all? E-books are automatically returned after 2 weeks, so no overdue notices or late fees!

If you don't have your own device, don't worry. We have 27 Nook Simple Touch e-readers available to borrow. You just have to return a permission slip and be on good terms with the library (no overdue books or fines).

Stop by the Media Center to find out how to borrow a Nook and/or start checking out e-books.

Our online library is located here:
