Boundless app closure

Due to the sudden closure of Baker & Taylor, the Boundless app that supports the eRead Illinois collection is being discontinued. While a transition of this scale would normally take several months, we are working quickly to ensure as little disruption as possible to your digital reading experience.

Over the coming weeks, the entire eRead Illinois collection will be moved to a new, long-term platform: The Palace Project app. This innovative service will provide enhanced access to e-books and audiobooks, allowing users to connect content from multiple platforms in one place. The Palace Marketplace also offers improved licensing options for libraries and includes access to Audible audiobook titles.

Thank you for your patience as we navigate this unexpected change. We appreciate your support and remain committed to providing seamless access to digital materials.
