The OverDrive Digital Bookmobile National Tour will showcase the free eBook/audiobook download service offered by the Carson City Library, 900 North Roop Street on Thursday, March 28, from noon to 6 p.m.
Readers of all ages will learn how to download eBooks and audiobooks from the library through interactive demonstrations and high-definition instructional videos. A “gadget gallery” featuring Kindle, iPod touch, Android tablet, NOOK, Sony Reader, Blackberry, Windows Phone, and more will help visitors discover portable devices that are compatible with the library’s download service.
“We are thrilled to host the OverDrive Digital Bookmobile. This nationally touring vehicle is a high-tech update of the traditional bookmobile and provides patrons an opportunity to immerse themselves in an interactive learning environment. It is a fun way to raise awareness of Carson City Library’s downloadable service,” said Library Director Sara Jones.
The OverDrive Digital Bookmobile is housed inside an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. This 74-foot community outreach 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 Carson City Library’s download service.
