The Archer Public Library is excited to announce an update to the e-book services provided through the E-Read Texas Program at the Texas State Library and Archives Commission. Starting October 1st, we will transition from the e-book platform SimplyE to the new e-book platform Boundless. This change will not affect Libby. Boundless offers many new features, including reading achievement badges, larger checkout limits, and social sharing features. With Boundless and Libby, library patrons can check out e-books and audiobooks for free, enabling them to enjoy the library on the go, adjust the font size of their favorite books with a touch, or listen to books while multitasking. Come by the library if you'd like help setting up or using Boundless or Libby; we're always happy to help! ************** Pip is about to head to college, but she is still haunted by the way her last investigation ended.

Can you cure me?”
