The Spartanburg County Public Libraries Headquarters Branch will host the Digital Bookmobile, an immersive download experience inside a 74 foot, high tech tractor trailer, on Monday, November 9 from 10:00am to 4:00pm in the headquarters parking lot. Readers of all ages are invited to engage digital downloading through interactive demonstrations and experience the SCPL’s audiobook and eBook download service at this free event. Library card holders can also check out and download digital titles any time by clicking here.
The Digital Bookmobile is housed inside an 18 wheel tractor trailer. This 74 foot community outreach vehicle is a high tech update of the traditional bookmobile that has served communities for decades. The vehicle is equipped with broadband Internet-connected PCs, high definition monitors, premium sound systems and a variety of portable media players, all of which help visitors explore the SCPL’s download service. Interactive learning stations give visitors an opportunity to search the Library’s digital media collection, use supported mobile devices, and sample audiobooks and eBooks.
Patrons can take advantage of the download service 24/7 when they visit the Library’s website. From there, they can browse the growing collection of best selling, new release and classic titles, and check out a digital title with a valid Library card. Once downloaded, digital titles can be enjoyed on a computer or transferred to supported mobile devices. Many audio titles can also be burned to audio CD. At the end of the lending period, titles will automatically expire and are returned to the digital collection. There are never late fees or damaged items.
