MORE LIBRARIES STARTING TO CARRY EBOOKS

It's happening in the UK and the US, as well as other countries as public libraries start to offer eBooks alongside regular books. PRESS RELEASE: WESTFIELD — The Westfield Memorial Library has announced that it has a new Digital Download Center for audiobooks, eBooks, music, and movies, available for downloading from the library’s web site. Library card holders can check out and download digital media to computers or mobile devices anytime and anywhere by visiting the site.
Card holders can enjoy the titles immediately or transfer them to a variety of devices, including iPod, Sony ReaderT and the Barnes & Noble Nook. Some audio titles can also be burned to CD to listen on-the-go. Titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, so there are no late fees.
“With an increasing number of people downloading digital content, the library is pleased to be able to offer materials in this form," said Phil Israel, Library Director. “Our new Digital Download Center is not only free and convenient, it is also an easy one-stop-borrowing center for everything from books to movies. As people become more accustomed to listening and watching on the go, we hope that they will think of the library as one of their main sources for obtaining materials.”
To get started downloading audiobooks, eBooks, music and movies, take out your library card and visit wmlnj.org and click on the image of the Digital Download Center.
