Introduction to the Palace Project:

The Palace Project (“Palace”) is a nonprofit, library-centered platform and e-reader app that provides all-in-one e-content management and lending.  The Montana State Library is hosting this app for all Montana libraries. The platform is free for you to use. Your only cost is the subscription e-content (eBooks and audiobooks) that you choose to add. There is also the option to add public domain content.

Additionally, the State Library is interested in evaluating patrons' experience with newer lending models such as simultaneous access. To this end, we are providing access to a Montana history eBooks collection, published by Arcadia Publishing, for all Montana residents at no cost to local libraries. 

This recorded webinar (https://youtu.be/sZ40Lu-3Xgw) provides a half-hour walk-through of the Palace app and nonprofit eBooks marketplace. This recording is worth 0.5 continuing education credits for Collection Management and Technical Services.

Please contact Cara Orban if you are interested in learning more about how your library could make Palace available to your community.
