The Palace Project
The Palace Project is an app that allows users to check out eBooks and eAudiobooks on their phones and tablets, much like checking out a physical book. The collection includes more than 7,500 items for all ages and interests. Unfortunately, the Palace Project doesn’t currently work on ereaders, laptops, or the web.
Smartphone or Tablet
- Go to the App Store or Google Play Store, and download the app under “Palace Project,” or follow this link.
- Log in to the Palace Project app.
- Choose Book Vermont as your library.
- The first time you check out, scroll down to where it says Create a Card. You’ll create an account with a password, and receive an email with your barcode and a verification link. You’ll use this barcode and password (not your LTPL card) for Palace Project going forward.
- To find books, click the Catalog tab on the bottom, and then scroll down to see categories of books, like children’s fiction or adult non-fiction. Click a category (like fiction) to see sub-categories (like adventure and mystery). You can limit by eBooks or Audiobooks at the top. Or click the magnifying glass to search for a specific title or author.
- When you find a book, click the Get button, and the item will start downloading immediately.
- Go to My Books to read/listen to your items.
Items are checked out for 1-2 weeks (depending on the item). They can’t currently be renewed, but you can check the item out again as long as no one else has checked it out.
