Minooka Library to Host E-Reader Clinic

Submitted by the Three Rivers Public Library District:

Did you receive an e-Reader or tablet as a gift this holiday season? Would you like to download free e-Books from the library, but just don’t know how? Three Rivers Public Library District can help. Learn how to use your Nook, Kindle, iPad, iPod Touch, Android tablet, smartphone or other e-book compatible device at the free E-Reader Drop-in Clinic from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29 at the Three Rivers’ Minooka Branch at 109 N. Wabena Ave.

Bring your device and knowledgeable and friendly library staff members will teach you how to browse, check out, and return free library e-Books. With one-on-one help, you will be reading to your heart’s content in no time at all. Library staff can also teach you other tips and tricks for using your device.

“E-readers and e-Book compatible electronic devices are great and popular gifts. However, not everyone feels comfortable using them right out of the box and a wonderful piece of technology can quickly become an expensive paperweight,” said Debbie Griggs, Three Rivers Library’s Assistant Director. “Our goal in offering these e-reader help sessions is to give our patrons the skills to use their new technology independently and to leave the library feeling comfortable using their new device.”

Three Rivers Library’s staff is trained to have knowledge of most popular e-Book compatible devices. Patrons of all ages are welcome to drop in any time during the program hours of 6pm-8pm; no appointment is necessary.

If you have any questions regarding this or other library programs or services, please visit the library website at www.trpld.org, or contact the library by phone at 815-467-6200 Channahon or 815-467-1600 Minooka.
