Ask the Expert Question: I am going on a vacation but do not want to carry a book. I plan to use my Kindle and would like to download a bestseller book, but I probably will need more than two weeks to read it. What are my options? If possible, how do I do this? Answer: One way to download library ebooks would be via the Overdrive or Libby apps. On Kindle, it's most likely Overdrive that will be offered in the Google Play Store. All you need is your library card. Libby and Overdrive is like any other library book: only one person can take one copy out at a time, and if there is a hold, you will have to wait for it. You also may not be able to keep the book for two weeks. If you are on vacation or need the book longer, these options might not be the best for you. In that case, try Hoopla Digital. You can sign up for an account using your library card, and you don't have to worry about waiting for the book. Anyone can download an item no matter who is waiting for it. You can renew it without worrying about whether anyone else has a hold on it. If you need any help downloading or using the apps, you are welcome to call the Library at (973-226-5441) or stop in so we can show you. -Kaitlyn Capelakos -If you have a question for The Expert, please email it to westcaldwellfriends@gmail.com. 6 Save the Date!!
