An E-Reader can be borrowed for one week. At this time, it cannot be renewed.
To request an E-Reader, call the Jones Library Reference Desk at 413-259-3096. We will contact you when the device is available. It can then be picked up at the Reference Desk.
The E-Reader must be returned to the Reference Desk and handed directly to a staff person. It cannot be returned to any other library and it cannot be returned in a library drop box. An overdue fine of $1 per day will be charged if the E-Reader is not returned by its due date.
Yes. Our E-Readers are pre-loaded with a selection of contemporary fiction, contemporary non-fiction, and classics. Please see TITLES PRE-LOADED ON OUR NOOKS (at left) for a partial list. We are planning to add additional titles in the future.

However, due to some logistical limitations, you are not permitted to borrow an e-book using a borrowed E-Reader. Please see our E‑Reader Rules of Use [PDF] for more information.
If the device is lost, stolen, or broken while in your care, you must pay the applicable replacement fee. Please see the E‑Reader Borrower Agreement [PDF] for details. | |
