Devices, internet connectivity, and expert guidance will be available on the Digital Bookmobile to guide visitors through the easy process of borrowing digital books and audiobooks. Staff will facilitate one-on-one tutorials to help visitors borrow and read or listen to eBooks and eAudiobooks.
The Digital Bookmobile is equipped with interactive workstations, touchscreen activities, devices to sample titles and everything a reader needs to get started. Popular devices, including iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, Chromebook and Kindles, fill the Gadget Gallery for visitors to browse our library's digital service.
Visitors can learn how to enhance their reading experience with tips and tricks from the experts, including how to sort and filter searches, create notes and highlights, manage your holds, tag titles, and much more.
