Circulating NOOKs™
Checking out a NOOK
In many ways, the NOOK is just like a regular book! They are listed in our catalog and within the record, you will find a list of the bestseller titles on each NOOK.
If you would like to be on the waiting list, click on the "Request a Hold" link at the top of the NOOK catalog page or contact us at 303-441-3100. When notified that your hold is ready, you’ll need to pick it up at the circulation desk rather than the hold shelf area.
NOTE: The Library's NOOKs circulate only to City of Boulder residents who are 18 or older.
Have your own NOOK, Kindle or other e-reader? You can download library books directly to your device. Learn more about our e-book collection.
