Find the Digital Bookmobile at the Second Saturday Art Walk, Saturday, February 11, 2012 from 4:00 pm – 10:00 pm, on Linden Avenue between at East Broadway and East First Street, Downtown Long Beach.
The Digital Bookmobile is housed inside an 18-wheel tractor-trailer. This 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, interactive learning stations, and a variety of portable media players, all of which help visitors explore Long Beach Public Library’s download service. The gadget gallery—featuring an iPad2, Android tablet, Nook, Sony Reader, Amazon Kindle, BlackBerry, Windows Phone, Creative Zen and more—will help visitors discover portable devices that are compatible with the library’s download service.
Take advantage of the download service 24/7 by visiting the library’s new Downloads webpage, www.lbpl.org/downloads. Browse the growing collection of bestselling, new release, and classic titles, and check out a digital title with a valid Long Beach Public Library card. Once downloaded, digital titles can be enjoyed on a computer or supported mobile device. Many audio titles can also be burned to CD. At the end of the lending period, titles will automatically expire and return to the digital collection. There are never fees, nor worries about late or damaged items with this service.
