Introduction to eBooks and eAudiobooks
According to this article from the Toronto Star from December 27th, one of the hottest gifts of the season was the Kobo eReader. If you were one of the hundred thousand plus who recently activated a new Kobo, you may be interested in a free workshop on how to access library materials for your eReader or mp3 player. Not limited to just Kobos, our eBook and eAudiobook collection can be used with a variety of devices so if you'd like to learn how to tap into this free resource we'd love to see you at the Lillian H. Smith branch next week; see program information is below.
Introduction to eBooks & eAudiobooks — Wednesday, January 26th at 6:30pm
Learn how to access and use all of the eBook services available from the Toronto Public Library. We'll explain the differences between various file formats and demonstrate how to easily find, download, and transfer content that will work with your device. You are welcome to bring your own gadgets* and laptops for some hands on help but they are not required for this workshop.
Please register in person at the branch or call 416-393-7746.
*Please note, the Amazon Kindle is not compatible with the library's collection.

I’m interested in this workshop, but unfortunately, I’m already committed to attend a function that evening. Please comment on if a similar workshop might be in the making.
Peace
Sorry you can’t make it to the workshop this Wednesday. We do have another planned for May 11th but will likely add another date before then. Just give us a call and we’ll add your name to a contact list and give you a call or e-mail when the next date is confirmed.
In the meantime, you may be interested in another program coming up at the North York Central Library called Ask An Expert: eBooks and eBook Readers. The program runs from 12pm-1pm on Wednesday, February 9th. Click the following link for more info: http://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/detail.jsp?Entt=RDM74900&R=74900
