The Portland Public Library of Sumner County has doubled the number of

Kindles now have 33 books on them, the 4
young adult Kindles now have 18 books on them (7 of which are on
the high school summer reading list), and the
2 junior Kindles have
10 books on them. Please call or visit the library to reserve your

Electronic Books
Anyone with a Kindle, Nook, etc. and a public library card can download from the
Regional Ebook and Audiobook Download System provided by the state of
Tennessee. Simply use the link below.
Suggestion: Until you get used to their search and download system, you might
want to try this:
Use the "Advanced Search"
link in the dark blue box on the left side of the screen.
Enter a title or an
author or a subject (e.g., Mystery.)
Select the format (e.g.,
Kindle).
Finally check the box
"Only show titles with copies available." (Once you are more
familiar with the system, you can leave the box unchecked. You can then
add yourself to wait lists to reserve books.)

This is an interesting web site for students and teachers. The website provides study materials for selected literature, poetry, and U.S. history topics. Below is part of a press release Shmoop sent out: "We're Shmoop, a new educational website for high school and college students. A bunch of us (mostly Ph.D. and Masters students from Stanford and Berkeley) have worked on this for the past year-and-change. We opened our doors recently, and we're itching to ask you for your 2 cents, shekels, whatever.
Praise for Young Shmoop
