LIBRARY TO OFFER DOWNLOAD TRAINING

Don’t be afraid of technology---embrace it! That is the message the Tompkins County Public Library is sending to those who received eReaders or digital audio players for the holidays.

“A lot of people are really excited about what devices like eReaders and other digital devices have to offer but aren’t sure how to use them,” Library Director Susan Currie said. “Rather than leaving them in their original packages, we are encouraging people to bring them into the Library and learn how to unlock their potential.”

On Wednesday, January 26 from 1:00 to 2:00 PM, Adult Services Librarian Jennifer Schlossberg will demonstrate how to transfer free audiobooks, eBooks and music from the OverDrive Digital Downloads service. Schlossberg will demonstrate downloading to a Barnes and Noble Nook, an iPad, a personal computer, an Android device and an iPod. The service is currently not available for Kindle eReaders.

This program is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required. To register, contact Schlossberg at jschlossberg@tcpl.org or 607-272-4557 x254 before January 24th.
