Can anyone advise me on how to get an update from bookeen to be able to check out books from my local library.

What build do you currently have on your Cybook? You can check by selecting the 3 button from the bottom on the left handside of the Cybook, then select Advanced > About.

Under Boo Reader, you'll find the build. If you already have Build 538, then you do not need to update your firmware.

I posted the procedure that Bookeen sent me in regards to getting the time set on the Cybook in this thread along with a file that Bookeen sent me. That file is fairly simple, but you may need to contact Bookeen and get an updated file.
