Upper Arlington Public Library is pleased to announce that we now offer the Nook Simple Touch e-Reader for circulation.
Each Nook e-Reader will come pre-loaded with titles in different genres. The goal of offering this service is to give our patrons an opportunity to experience using an e-reader first hand and to be able to decide whether this format suits their needs and preference in reading.
Who can borrow a Nook?
Upper Arlington Public Library card holders who are 18 years and older and have a library card in good standing may borrow a Nook.
Do I have to download books myself?
Each Nook is pre-loaded with a selection of classic and current books in a different genre for your enjoyment.
Where do I pick up a Nook?
The Nooks are kept at the Circulation Desk at Tremont. We ask that the Nooks get returned to any one of our three locations in person and not in the book drops to prevent damage.
Can I reserve a Nook?
Yes, you may reserve a Nook and you can choose any of our three locations for pickup. Please note that there are a limited number of e-Readers circulating so you might have to be added to a waiting list depending upon demand.
How long can I keep the Nook?
The Nook e-Readers circulate for 28 days and may not be renewed.
Will I be charged to borrow a Nook or if I return it late or damaged?
Like other circulating library items, there is no charge for borrowing a Nook. However, there is a charge of $1.00 per day if the item is returned late.

- Nook Simple Touch e-Reader & contents: $200.00
- Protective Cover: $20.00
- Charger & cord: $35.00
