Thinking of giving or getting a new tablet or eReader? Stop by the Bellingham Public Library from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 6, for our Tech Gifts demonstration to see and try out the latest devices.
Staff from Village Books, Best Buy, TD Curran and Fred Meyer will bring and demonstrate how to use various tablets and eReaders. Brands available will include Kobo, iPad, Nook, Kindle, Samsung and more. Library staff and volunteer technology helpers also will be on hand to demonstrate how to download library eBooks, eAudiobooks, and magazines.
“This gathering is a fun way to see and try out the latest devices that will be popular in the upcoming gift season,” said public services librarian Deborah Brewer. “Participants will have a chance to talk with area retailers about individual products and compare their features and services.”
Brewer said this event also is a chance to find out more about the wide selection of free downloadable eBooks and audiobooks available through your local libraries.
The Bellingham Public Library also offers free weekly one-on-one Tech Coaching sessions to help patrons with basic computer, Internet and downloading skills using their tablets or eReaders. Check the library calendar for the Tech Coaching schedule.
“Whether you are taking a first leap into mobile technology or upgrading your existing device, we can help you make the most of your technology resources,” Brewer said.
Tech Gifts: Tablets and eReaders is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, on the main floor of the Central Library. For information, contact the Bellingham Public Library at 360-778-7323.
