Did Santa bring you an eReader for Christmas? Lots of our patrons are now enjoying the free downloads from C/WMARS Digital Catalog, but if you haven't tried yet, come to our OverDrive Workshop presented by Access Services Associate Cynthia Laino.
Cynthia will go over the website, especially the links to compatible devices and formats, and explain how to find which formats work with your eReader. She will show you how to browse for titles, how to check out and download, explore the Help pages and talk about audiobooks vs. videos.
For those who are still "on the fence", this is a great opportunity to handle various eReaders and decide whether you would like to purchase one yourself! Please RSVP at the main circulation desk.
