Friends give NOOK Colors 

The Friends of the Library have bought six Nook Colors for the Library to loan, just in time for the holidays!
A NOOK Color is a portable, lightweight eBook reader that you can buy from Barnes & Noble or borrow from the library. Each of the six eReaders is preloaded with a colorful collection of 29 children's picture books, which will be updated every few months.
Although the NOOK Colors are loaded with children's books and can even read aloud to kids, they will check out only to adults (18 or older) in good standing with the library. This is because the borrower is responsible to pay replacement costs up to $300 in case of loss or damage.
Like the 12 plain black and white NOOKs the Friends of the Library purchased for library borrowers to test drive earlier this year, NOOK Colors will check out for seven days. No renewals are allowed, and overdue fees are $1 per day.   Borrowers are not allowed to change the settings or add content.
