Ebook help sessions

We now have over 8500 ebooks for children, teens and adults, with more being added on a regular basis. With a Knox County library card, ebooks can be downloaded to an e-reader, smart phone, or computer, and you'll have access to them for up to 3 weeks.

Need a little guidance? Join us for a help session where you'll be able to see a demonstration showing how to install and register the required software, and download an ebook to a device. Bring a wireless-equipped laptop and e-reader (with some mobile devices, no laptop or PC is required), and we will help you through the download process on your own equipment, time permitting.

Ebook help sessions:
February 6, 6:30 p.m. at Powell Branch Library
February 16, 5:30 p.m. at Lawson McGhee Library
February 28, 6:30 p.m. at Bearden Branch Library

Study, practice, excel

Some important dates for the college-bound to remember:

SAT Test Dates

• March 10
• May 5
• June 2

ACT Test Dates

• April 14
• June 9

Remember that the Library has online access to courses, ebooks and practice exams to help students do better on the ACT and SAT. There are also courses to help students improve their basic skills and get higher grades.

Learning Express Library is brought to you by the Tennessee Electronic Library. You'll find that it offers more than courses for students: there's help for making career changes, job hunting, learning personal finance, and seeking citizenship. It does require a username and password, but you get to create that for yourself. Your account allows you to put ebooks, courses and exams into "My Center" so that you can track your progress over multiple sessions with the material.
