eBooksSeveral of our patrons have inquired about having the Overdrive eBooks service at our library. Unfortunately, this service is too cost prohibitive at this time. Library Director Patty Metcalf is researching to identify a more affordable eBooks service to offer our patrons. We understand how popular this is, so we have compiled a short list of free eBook sites. |

Friends of Jerome Public Library
The Friends of the Jerome Public Library offer many services that benefit the Library on an annual basis. They provide funds for all the programming in the Library ranging from Children's Summer Reading to Adult book talks. Some funds go towards special book projects and programming. Many of their funds are patron generated from book donations and the Friends bookstore sales. We currently house the Friends of the Jerome Public Library bookstore within our building. It is located in our adult fiction reading area. You can find many new and gently used books that array from the newest James Patterson series to a children's book from your childhood. Prices vary from $.15- $2.00. The Friends also host a bi- annual book/bake sale to promote the library, the bookstore and raise funds for programming.
