All NOOK devices support public library borrowing.
You can go to your local library's website, call or visit your library to ask them if they support it. Also, it's important to ask what service they use to allow access to their digital collection. If you have a NOOK Color, NOOK Tablet, NOOK HD, or NOOK HD+, find out the name of the App that your local library uses. You can search these sites to see if your library uses one of these services:
