OverDrive Digital Bookmobile National Tour Event
Tuesday, June 12, noon - 6 pm

The OverDrive Digital Bookmobile will make a stop on its national tour.  At this free event, readers of all ages can learn how to download eBooks, audiobooks, movies, and music from the library through interactive demonstrations and high-definition instructional videos.  A gadget gallery—featuring Kindle®, iPod® touch, Android™ tablet, NOOK™, Sony® Reader™, BlackBerry®, Windows® Phone, and more—will help visitors discover portable devices that are compatible with the library’s Overdrive download service.

The Digital Bookmobile is housed inside an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. This 74-foot community outreach vehicle is a high-tech update of the traditional bookmobile that has served communities for decades. The vehicle is equipped with broadband Internet-connected PCs, high definition monitors, premium sound systems, and a variety of portable media players, all of which help visitors explore the OverDrive download service. Interactive learning stations give visitors an opportunity to search the library’s digital media collection, use supported mobile devices, and sample eBooks, audiobooks, music, and video.

Need help downloading ebooks? We have videos on how to use OverDrive on our Readers Services page.
