Huddling in an armchair with a good book during winter isn’t a bad way to pass the time and if you own an eReader, whether it be a Nook, Kindle, or other hand-held device you can get free eBooks using your computer, the internet and your library card from the West Milford Township Library without leaving the comfort of your home. If you do not own a device and want to try out an eReader, the library lends Sony and Nook eReaders. Though you will not be able to download titles to these devices, they can help you decide if eReaders are for you.
