We had difficulty finding appropriate books via the platforms available. The
cost was prohibitive as well.
Let me know which platform you end up using. You may wish to consider Ebsco.

Actually, I'm thinking of lending out the books via wi-fi like most of the city
libraries and schools do. I do not want to get into lending out hardware.

The Koopman Library in West Hartford, CT has been lending out Kindle touch
screens since the end of last year. We’ve been uploading books using Amazon
gift cards, and lending out the entire device. There’s a small contract that
we request patrons sign in case they damage the device. Thus far, we’ve had no
issues.

Subject: [ha-Safran] e-library
Does anyone have experience with e-book lending? Especially for very small
synagogue libraries.
Our congregation in Corpus Christi only has about 4000 books. But as more
people are buying e-readers I would like to start acquiring books of Jewish
interest as they are released.
Any thoughts or info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David Jacobs
Librarian, Congregation Beth Isreal
