New dates scheduled for popular Technology Sandbox programs

Does your holiday shopping have you trying to choose between the Nook and the Kindle? Wondering if the new Amazon Kindle Fire really is a reasonable-priced alternative to the iPad? Come see for yourself at a "Library Technology Sandbox." We'll have e-readers like the Nook and the Kindle, the new Amazon "Fire" (a budget alternative to the iPad), tablet computers, iPads, MP3 players, and iPods for you to test drive and play with here at the library.

Our series of “Technology Sandbox" workshops will include an opportunity for patrons to try out these new products. The first series of workshops in November was so popular that we have scheduled a new series for December and January. They are free and open to the public.

If you already have have an e-reader, a laptop, a smartphone or a mobile device, bring it to a "Sandbox" and we'll show you how to download library materials for free.
