just bought one for my girlfriend and ?

I surprised her on my birthday by getting a Nook for her..She had been reading in bed on her IPhone and I thought this would be more enjoyable for her. We were setting it up last night but were having problems with the web selection on the bottom of the screen. Is there a program that needs to be installed before accessing ebooks from the public library?

You're a good boyfriend! What a great present!
You have to use a regular computer for library books. You need to have Adobe Digital Editions (most of the time referred to as ADE) to handle the library DRM (copy protection).
Check out the book from the library.
You'll be getting a ASCM file when you press the library's "download" button, but that's not the actual book, just a kind of link to donwload the book,
Open the acsm link and the book will be downloaded. If you've made "typical" ADE install the book will find it's way to there.
With ADE open, hook up the Nook with a USB chord and ADE should recognize it and you should be able to drag and drop the book to the Nook.
Once the book is on the Nook you will find it in the "My Documents" Library, not the B&N Library.

Just some more info:
Link to ADE:
http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/

You'll need to set up an account (free) and also authorize the Nook to that account, but ADE should ask you to do this when the Nook is first plugged in (or possibley when you transfer the first book).
