Hear ye Hear ye e--books!

week 9 thing 22


I logged into Overdrive for this exercise. I was really surprised at the array of items that you can download; fiction- including children's and YA , non-fiction in just about every category and most
surprisingly graphic novels and video. I did a search for the novel Water for Elephants and was delighted to find it was available. I was also quite surprised and happy to see that you could burn it to a cd. I don't expect to use e-books on a regular basis, but am reassured to know it is another option for books that may not be readily available in another format. I will be talking up this option a lot more to customers now. I am curious how widely it is currently being used.
