Today, I am also adding two programs so that you will be able to have access to Overdrive and OWWL2Go right at the public computers! You should really check out what we have--especially if you have a smart phone or web phone of any type... If you need an app so you can download a book and take it with you, just let me know and I will download and install it on any of our computers. Overdrive Media Console and Adobe Digital Editions are new! I am also looking in to getting interactive books for the computers for our Early Readers, and Easy Readers.

There will be some new additions to the Call Numbers on all of the books.
