Getting Started with The Palace  Project

The eRead Illinois collection has migrated to a new platform, The Palace Project.

To get started:

  •  Download the Palace Project app, which is available in both the Apple App Store for iOS phones and tablets and the Google Play Store for Android phones and devices.
  • Open the Palace app, tap “Find Your Library” and type or scroll to find your library’s name to access the digital books and audiobooks.
  • You will be prompted to sign in with your library card barcode number and PIN.
  • Browse available titles by selecting any of the headings to view additional or related titles. Or, search for a specific title by selecting the magnifying glass in the upper right corner of the screen.
  • Select the desired title and click “Borrow.” If your book is currently unavailable, click “Place Hold” to place a hold.

Once your book has been downloaded, click “Read” or “Listen” and enjoy! Borrowed titles can be easily accessed by selecting “My Books” at the bottom of the screen.
