This week is, in part, about mobile technology in libraries
and it got me thinking about my library’s “Digital Branch.” Having (shamefully) never used it before, I decided
to download and e-book to try it out. I
already have a Kindle, so I didn’t need to download any software, and the
process was really easy.
Our patrons can simply click on a title and then “Borrow,”
and the next time their device connects to the internet, their book is
available. I “checked out” Terry
Pratchett’s The Long War.
Looking at out statistics, our library system has already “loaned”
over 33,000 e-books!Pretty cool!
