Arizona State Library to host Digital Bookmobile
Download experience promotes free audio books, eBook, music and video
downloads
The Digital Bookmobile will be open to state employees and the public
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Feb. 16 on the west side of the state Capitol,
1700 W. Washington St. The event is free-of-charge, and presented
courtesy of the Arizona State Library, Archives and Public Records, and
Overdrive Inc.
This isn't the bookmobile of old. Instead, the Digital Bookmobile is an
immersive download experience - a 74-foot, high-tech tractor-trailer
equipped with broadband, Internet-connected computers, HD monitors,
premium sound system and a variety of portable media players.
Interactive learning stations will give visitors an opportunity to
search the State Library's collection of digital media, including
eBooks, audio books, music and video.
"We are thrilled to have this highly visible and useful outreach event,"
said State Librarian GladysAnn Wells. "We hope state employees will
learn more about our services."
State Library card holders can check out and download digital titles
anytime, anywhere by visiting
http://overdrive.phoenixpubliclibrary.org
or connecting through the Greater Phoenix Digital Library link -
www.azlibrary.gov/azlibrary - available on AZlibrary.
From there, visitors can browse the growing collection of best-selling
new releases and classic titles, and check out a digital title with a
valid State Library or other library card. State Library cards are
available to state employees who register online at
www.lib.az.us/azlibrary/app.aspx
Once downloaded, digital titles can be enjoyed on a computer or
transferred to supported mobile devices. Many audio titles can also be
burned to audio CD. At the end of the 2-week lending period, titles
automatically expire and are returned to the digital collection. There
are no late fees or penalties for damaged items.
