As people increasingly read and listen to books on their smartphone or tablet, they’re discovering one of the best resources is their local public library. White County residents can access a wide selection of popular digital ebooks and audiobooks free from the White County Public Library. With a library card, members of the community can borrow from the digital collection by downloading Libby, the award-winning reading app from OverDrive, or click here.
“The Library has offered this service for a few years now, but it seems some people still haven’t heard about the program,” says technology librarian Connie Leftwich. “We want to take this opportunity to remind you about this service and emphasize this service is available 24/7 from the comfort of your own home.”
In addition, WCPL is hosting live, virtual demonstrations of how to get started with borrowing ebooks and audiobooks through the Libby app. This free online event features sessions for both new and experienced users and takes place on Friday, March 19th. Three basic sessions are scheduled at 9:00, 9:30, and 10:00 central time, and a Libby Deep Dive Session will begin at 10:30.
