Welcome to the Patchogue-Medford Library Electronic Book Loan Service!

We are pleased to announce the formation of our new electronic book (e-book) collection and the pilot project for the loan of e-book readers to Patchogue-Medford Library cardholders.

Are you tired of carrying an armful of books from the library at each visit?
Are you tired of being woken up at night because your partner is
reading in bed?

Try the Rocket eBook!!

The Rocket eBook Reader is a "book", but it has some features which make it extra-special. The Rocket eBook Reader can hold 10 books at one time. It fits in the palm of your hand, and with a weight of only 22 ounces, that is pretty amazing! It has a backlit screen for reading in the dark, and it also has options which allow you to underline and make notes in the text.

If you are interested in checking out a Rocket eBook Reader, please fill out the following form. We will get back to you as soon as we are able to process your request!
