This week, the Library offered our first class on EBooks and EReaders for the public. With the holidays approaching and all the buzz about the IPad, the new Kindle Fire and all the other tablets and readers out there, we thought it would be a good time to offer an introduction and to let people know about our EBooks.
We thought we should probably cover the current market, just so everyone knows a bit about what is out there. Then we moved into the resources that we have available for the various gadgets. We rounded out the class with a brief demonstration of how to check out a book for a Kindle and how to check out a book on an IPad.
The NOOK is harder to demonstrate, for a variety of reasons, so we provided links and resources online for participants to review later. (We are going to explore how we can do more for our local Nook users - so stay tuned for more offerings.)
We are offering the second session of our EBook introduction on Thursday, December 8 at 5 PM in the Talbert Room at the Library, and I am looking forward to another interesting session. If you are interested in EBooks, EReaders and what the library has, stop by.
