Thing #22: Electronic Books

Electronic Books are becoming more popular at the Library despite being downloadable only to an MP3 player and not to the ubiquitous iPod. Haven't used my player yet buy it's the ideal motivator to learn more about the Library's electronic book offerings. I especially enjoyed reading about Project Gutenburg. It's powered by volunteers and has over 20,000 titles of the most eclectic offerings. I managed to establish an account in Overdrive and downloaded the software. I found a few titles of interest to me in electronic format in our catalog, and figured out how to put them into a Bookbag for downloading. I haven't downloaded anything yet, but will soon.
