Library branch to host bookmobile tour stop
The Digital Bookmobile National Tour will showcase the digital content services available at the Lee County Library System.
The bookmobile will be at East County Regional Library, at 881 Gunnery Road, on Oct. 13 from noon to 6 p.m. The event is free.
Readers of all ages will learn how to access e-books from the library through interactive demonstrations and high-definition instructional videos.
The Gadget Gallery – featuring Kindle Fire, iPad Mini, Android Galaxy Tablet, NOOK HD+, Creative Zen, Kindle Paperwhite, Windows Phone 8 and more – will help visitors discover portable devices that are compatible with the library’s digital service.
Library card holders can also check out digital titles anytime, anywhere by visiting: www.leegov.com/library/online.
“Our library system is on the cutting edge when it comes to technology,” Sheldon Kaye, the Lee County Library System’s director, said. “The system is constantly upgrading to support the mobile needs of society.
“Folks who want to learn how to take advantage of OverDrive’s library services via their devices should visit,” he said.
The bookmobile is contained in an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. The 74-foot community outreach vehicle is a high-tech update of the traditional bookmobile that has served communities for decades.
The vehicle is equipped with broadband Internet-connected PCs, high definition monitors, premium sound systems and a variety of portable media players, all of which help visitors explore the system’s OverDrive service.
Interactive learning stations give visitors an opportunity to search the digital media collection, use supported mobile devices and sample eBooks, audiobooks and video.
Patrons can take advantage of the service 24/7 when they visit the library’s website. From there, they can browse the growing collection of bestselling, new release and classic titles and check out a digital title with a valid library card.
Once the digital titles have been checked out, they can enjoy them in the browser or transfer them to their computer or a supported portable device. Many audio titles can also be burned to audio CD.
At the end of the lending period, titles will automatically expire and are returned to the digital collection. There are never any late fees or damaged items.
