Old Dog - New Trick

I borrowed an e-book from the Hamilton Public Library yesterday - all by myself !!!

I actually borrowed 2 books but I'm not sure where the 1st one went :)

Thankfully after 2 weeks it will just disappear from where ever it went & no one will be the wiser.

i know, it's pretty slick, eh? does your library have a good ebook collection? ours is "okay".

and how do you "borrow" ebooks?

Chris
not really sure of their collection yet.
I was more interested in trying to download one :)

Patti
I have a Sony e-reader (same as Christine)
To borrow an ebook all you need a library card & a computer.
You just pick out the ebook you want from the hpl website & download it to your computer.
After 14 days (you pick the length of time) the ebook just disappears from your computer.
Don't really know how that last part works yet - I'll let you know in 13 days :)
