I love myself a good ebook. Who doesn't? Right!  Let's twist this a bit, how about a FREE ebook? Doubting me? Shaking your head thinking I'm crazy?  Hold onto that Nook, Kindle or ipad! Because this will knock your apps off!

On Saturday, February 11, 2012 the Digital Bookmobile National Tour will be going through Long Beach and this will be your chance to get a free ebook and downloadable audiobook.  You can find the Digital Bookmobile at the Second Saturday Art Walk (on Linden Ave between East Broadway and East First Street) from 4 to 10pm.  You will be able to learn how to download ebooks and audiobooks with demonstrations and instructional videos.  At the event, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation will be providing the chance to receive a Kindle Touch if you bring your Long Beach Public Library card or apply for one at the event.  Readers of all ages are welcome!

If you are unable to experience this ebook event, residents will be able to use the download service by visiting the Library's webpage www.lbpl.org/downloads.  Once there, you will be able to surf through the collection and download with your valid Long Beach Public Library card.  Your selection will be able to be viewed on a computer or supported mobile device.  When the lending period is up, the title you borrowed will expire automatically.  No late fees! If you anything like me, this is a wonderful feature.

So go, enjoy the lovely Second Saturday Art Walk and keep your reading eyes appealed for The Digital Bookmobile which will reside in a 18-wheel tractor-trailer!

See you there!

Always,

Juls

I love love love downloading free ebooks using this feature. This is one of the reasons my kids got nooks for christmas. I can't wait for the selection to expand and I will totally be at this event.

Thanks to the Library, I have been able to borrow audio books for over a year now. I download them to my mp3 player, motivating me to get out for my exercise. What a great service, especially in this economy. Thanks, LBPL for letting me personally experience my tax dollars at work.

I haven't actually taken advantage of this service yet, but it sounds great! Looking forward to taking advantage of this though!

This is awesome! My Kindle Fire is supposed to be here tomorrow and I will have my booth at the Artwalk.
