River Forest Public Library

Kindles have come to the River Forest Public Library!

The Kindle is a portable electronic reading device developed by Amazon.  Kindles utilize new technology such as wireless connectivity and electronic paper to deliver a unique reading experience. 

The River Forest Public Library Kindles will come pre-loaded with selected digital content.  The library has 3 Kindles available for checkout: Popular Fiction Kindle, Popular Non-Fiction Kindle, and Mystery and Suspense Kindle.  Use of the River Forest Public Library's Kindles are limited to River Forest Public Library patrons 18 years of age and older.

At this time, the content on each Kindle is fixed.  Patrons will not have the ability to purchase content from the Kindle store on Amazon through the library Kindles.  However, we will periodically update the content on these Kindles and welcome suggestions for additions.

To find Kindles in the library catalog go to www.riverforestlibrary.org
Select Library Catalog from the menu on the left.
Once you are in the catalog search by keyword for "RFS Kindle"
