NetLibrary

Downloading audio books...
How many of you have done this already? I was all set to try it out today when I came in to find an MP3 player at my desk with a note that I'd been chosen as one of the people to test them on our downloadable databases. I conscientiously followed the directions both for downloading the software included with the MP3 player AND downloading the book but although it IS now checked out to me I can't seem to find the file to put it onto the MP3 player! And I wonder why our patrons are frustrated with the system!!! Guess I'll try again tomorrow...

"Cars" a smashing success!

Thanks to all of you who showed up for our viewing of Disney's "Cars" last night. About 75 came with blankets and others in their favorite PJs (many sporting their favorite "Cars" characters) and all ready to have some fun. If you missed out, keep any eye out here for our next movie.... Hope to see you then!
