Downloadable ebooks are now here!   Imagine traveling to Hawaii and using your Ipad to hold your travel guide, or reading a Patricial Cornwell mystery on your laptop.  The library has upgraded our NetLibrary service to include downloadable pdf versions of print books.  We have travel, fiction, computer, and business titles.  You will need to download Adobe Digital Editions to your desktop, laptop, or other device.  Details on how to use the service can be found on our website.  This is a new collection, so if the service is well used, we'll try to get more titles.
