Our Boundless collection is moving to a new platform!
A message from eRead Illinois regarding the Boundless app:
Due to the recent and abrupt closure of the book supplier Baker & Taylor, the Boundless app that hosts the eRead Illinois collection is being discontinued. While a transition of this size would typically take months, we are moving quickly to ensure minimal interruption to your use of the eRead Illinois collection.
In the coming weeks, the entire eRead Illinois collection will be migrated to a new, sustainable
platform: the Palace Project app. The Palace Project app offers benefits that will enhance library e-
content collections, including the ability to source e-books and audiobooks from other
platforms into the Palace Project app. The Palace Marketplace also includes more favorable e-
content licensing terms for libraries and access to Audible audiobook titles.
We understand this is a very fast transition, and we are working hard to preserve this valuable
resource for you.
- Sunday, November 2 – last day to check out ebooks or audiobooks on Boundless
- Monday, November 17 – Boundless will stop operating and be fully retired.
- Tuesday, December 2 – the new Palace Project app will be available for download!
Please note: When Boundless ceases, all outstanding holds and checkout histories will disappear. You will need to place holds in the Palace Project app for the ebooks and audiobooks you have been waiting for in the Boundless app and manually note any checkout history you would like to retain.
