Why were Kindle Fires
purchased?
We
wanted every NL staff person to have the opportunity to become familiar with
downloading e-Books and comfortable using a tablet. Each NL location, except Discovery Green and
Fifth Ward, will receive a Kindle Fire.
Who can check out a
Kindle Fire?
Any NL
staff. It can only be checked out and
returned to the home neighborhood library location. For example, if it is checked out at
Montrose, then it must be returned to Montrose.
How do I check out a
Kindle Fire?
Please
use your personal HPL library card.
What is the check out
period?
You
may check it out for 2 weeks with no renewals.
They cannot be placed on HOLD. A
Manager may set up a “waiting list” so that all staff has a chance to try out
the device.
Can I use it at home?
Yes. Staff is encouraged to check out the device
on your library card and use it either at home; or at work. The best way to become familiar with new
technology is by using it.
What Amazon account
do I use?
Each
neighborhood library will use a special Gmail account to set up Amazon account.
If
staff uses their personal Amazon account, then he or she is responsible for
registering and de-registering the device when it is returned.
Can I buy a book and
download it?
You
can only purchase a book for download on your personal Amazon account. You are responsible for registering and
de-registering it. Once you return the
device, you would be able to access your purchased item through the Kindle app
on a mobile device, on a computer, or on another Kindle device.
How do I download an
e-Book?
How do I request
hands on training at my library?
When the
Kindle Fire is not in use, it should be secured in the laptop cabinet.
