The New Palace Project App Has Launched!
Our eRead Illinois collection has been migrated from Boundless to the Palace Project app! Download an ebook or audiobook today!
Getting Started with the Palace Project:
Download: The Palace Project app is available in both the Apple App Store for iOS phones and tablets and the Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets.
Connect: Open the Palace Project app, tap “Find Your Library,” and type or scroll to find Hudson Area Public Library District to access our collection of ebooks and audiobooks. If you downloaded the app yesterday, you will need to go into “Settings” to add Hudson to your list of libraries. Tap “Libraries” at the top of the screen then “Add Library” or the plus symbol next to “Libraries” on the next screen.
Browse: Browse available titles by selecting any of the headings to view additional or related titles. Or, search for a specific title by selecting the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of the screen.
Borrow: Select the desired title and click “Get” or “Borrow.” If your book is currently unavailable, click “Reserve” to place a hold. After choosing to borrow or reserve a title, you will be prompted to sign in with your library barcode number and PIN.
Read! Once your book has been downloaded, click “Read” or “Listen” and enjoy! Borrowed titles can be easily accessed by selecting “My Books” at the bottom of the screen.
