Freeloading Librarians to Offer Training at The Shops at Ithaca Mall
The Tompkins County Public Library and The Shops at Ithaca Mall will partner on Saturday, July 28th for a demonstration by the “Freeloading Librarians,” a group of library staff members offering instruction, advice and support for downloading free eBooks and audiobooks to mobile devices.
The demonstration, which will begin at 10:00 a.m. and run until noon in the Food Court, will include personal assistance for downloading books to iPads, iPods, Kindles, Nooks and smartphones through the Finger Lakes Library System’s free, OverDrive Digital Download service.
Participants should bring their library card or sign up for a free card at the event. A photo ID with a current, local address is required to receive a library card.
This program is being held as part of a series of “Freeloading Librarians” programs designed to increase digital confidence and awareness among readers.
