You can now borrow Barnes & Noble Nook eReaders from the Ripon Public Library!  To check availability or place a hold on either a Nook Simple Touch or Nook Color eReader, search your library catalog for the title "Ripon nook," or use these handy direct links:

• Ripon Nook Simple Touch catalog page
• Ripon Nook Color catalog page

There are currently more than 50 titles - from current best-sellers to classics, nonfiction and even children's books  -  pre-loaded and ready-to-read on each Nook.  Most titles can be turned into large print titles by changing the text size on screen.  The Nook Color also includes fun, interactive children's books with animations and a "read to me" features where the device will read the story out loud! 

Please note: you must be 18 or older to check out a Nook.
