On the I phone you need to down load what is called book share, if you
get books from there,
Or Bard if you get books from nls.
Then you go into the app to down load any book you wish to read.
I truly don't know if Ted can down load books to his phone as we can
with the I products.
Hope this helps.
If you have a home phone, give us a call, we would be glad to help you
down load those two apps so you can get books.

> This is the first time that I have ever had a public card.
> They shared that we could take a book home if we wanted to do so.
> We also learned that we can down load books onto our I products.
> They helped us fill out the paper work as well as reading the numbers to us

> We will wait for a month if we don't hear from them, then we will call

> We were wishing that we had an app that we could scan the page of the book

> Ted have you done this with your phone with a library book, and if so, how
> well did it read?
> Jim thought that your phone was still a better deal at this time until

> We also learned that anyone across the state can get a library card.
> Just wanted to share on behalf of our fun day.
> I am sure Jim will share more about the day when he gets to reading the
