The Palace Project (Boundless Transition)
Due to the recent and abrupt closure of Baker & Taylor, the Boundless app that hosts the eRead Illinois collection has been discontinued.
Introducing the Palace Project, an e-reading experience developed by and for libraries. With the Palace app you have access to Freeport Public Library’s digital collections in one place. Enjoy thousands of free books from the Palace Bookshelf as well as titles your library has purchased through the Palace Marketplace–available exclusively in the app. Download the Palace app for Android or Apple iOS 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 app, tap “Find Your Library,” and type or scroll to find your library’s name to access their collection of ebooks and audiobooks.
- 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.” If your book is currently unavailable, click “Reserve” to place a hold. After choosing to get or reserve a title, you will be prompted to sign in with your library card number and PIN (last 4 digits of card number)
- 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
