   • Join Waiting List - Due to a limited amount of licenses, only a certain amount of books may be checked out at once. You may join a waiting list by entering your email address.

    Note: Public library books require an active Wi-Fi connection for wireless delivery to a Kindle device. Library books will not be delivered via your Kindle's 3G connection. If trying to send to a Kindle device and you do not have an active Wi-Fi connection, you may instead choose to load your library book via USB.
