Freeloading Librarians to Offer Training at DeWitt Park

The Tompkins County Public Library and the DeWitt Park Farmer’s Market will partner July 19th for a demonstration by the “Freeloading Librarians,” a group of library staff members offering instruction, advice and support for downloading free eBooks and audiobooks to mobile devices. 

The demonstration, which will begin at 4 p.m., will include personal assistance for downloading books to iPads, iPods, Kindles, Nooks and smartphones through the Finger Lakes Library System’s free, Overdrive Media Console application.   

Participants should bring their library card or sign up for a free card at the event.  A photo ID with a current, local address is required to receive a library card.

This program is being held as part of a series of “Freeloading Librarians” programs designed to increase digital confidence and awareness among readers.

For more information, contact Jennifer Schlossberg at (607) 272-4557 extension 254, jschlossberg@tcpl.org or Stephen Salino at ssalino@tcpl.org.
