The Slayton Public Library is excited to offer a Kindle Paperwhite for checkout! This ereader comes preloaded with a curated selection of books, focusing on titles popular with local book groups as well as titles not published as a physical, large-print book. There’s something for everyone to enjoy—from fiction to nonfiction for adults, plus titles with a Minnesota connection or by independent authors. This Paperwhite is an easy way to try an e-book or e-reader without the hassle of buying a device or managing digital downloads.
