#22 Media and Book Downloads

I've been using the OverDrive and MyLibraryDV software since we got it. I even used to have a NetLibrary account years ago. I always tell patrons the story of my daughter leaving her Pride and Prejudice book at school over Christmas break - all copies were checked out - and she read it online for her class.

So, I tried the one I didn't know about - TumbleBooks.

How easy! Holy Cow! In five seconds flat, I was listening to "A Little Princess"!

This is so much easier than our other audio and video formats - no software to download, no waiting lists. Wow!

I'm very comfortable offering this to patrons, and explaining how simple it is.

Glad to know about this resource!
