DIGITAL BOOKMOBILE IS ON THE WAY

Tuesday, February 16th at 9:00 am to 3:00 pm, parked in front of the Executive Tower at the State Capitol (18th Avenue between Adams and Jefferson), it will be open to the public. The Digital Bookmobile, developed inside a 74-foot, 18-wheel tractor-trailer, is a high-tech update of the traditional bookmobile that has served communities for decades. The community outreach vehicle presents programs that promote a host library’s digital media collection and ‘Virtual Branch’ download website. The vehicle is equipped with broadband Internet-connected PCs, high definition monitors, premium sound systems, and a variety of portable media players. Hands-on learning stations give visitors an opportunity to search the digital media collection, use supported mobile devices, and download and enjoy eBooks, audiobooks, music, and video from the library.
