• In the Quick Nav Bar, tap
Apps
to display the apps on your NOOK. Tap the
NOOK Friends

LendMe

LendMe
button. Scroll through the list
of books eligible for lending. Tap the
LendMe
button next to the book you want to lend.

cover until a pop-up menu appears. In the pop-up menu, tap the
LendMe
menu choice.

address in your Contacts app. You can access the Contacts app from the Apps screen. To visit the Apps
screen, tap the
Apps
button in the Quick Nav Bar.
• If you plan to make the LendMe offer through Facebook, make sure that you have linked your NOOK
to your Facebook account, and also make sure that the friend to whom you want to lend the book is
in your Friends list on Facebook. You can connect your NOOK to your Facebook account through the
Social Settings screen, which you can access by tapping the
Settings
button in the Quick Nav Bar.
2. In your Library, press and hold on the cover of the book you want to lend. Books are eligible for lending if they
