Here's how to access your library's eRead Kids collection:

Download The Palace Project app from the App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android).

Open the app and search for "eRead Kids." Selections will sort alphabetically by "eRead Kids - Azalea Regional Library System."

Select your library and start browsing!

When you first login you will see the following pop-up notification: Please note that existing titles in the eRead Kids collection will continue to be added to The Palace Project app in the background over the next few months. In some cases, Palace needs to work directly with smaller publishers to coordinate license transfers.

To checkout a title for the first time, click on it and select "Borrow." Patrons will be prompted to enter the card number and PIN to check out. (You should only have to do this once.)
