| The library had e-readers to try. Notice the free coffee in the background. |
Yesterday I was looking for a magazine and noticed a pop-up tent and sign about e-books. I headed over there and found one person from the Apple store and a library employee, both demonstrating different e-readers. I was amazed to learn you can borrow three types from the library the way you would borrow a book, meaning no deposit or credit card was needed. How un-American.

On the other hand, in the children's room the current magazines are locked into special holders.
Also in the children's room are two cd players on a high shelf. The parents can load it and the children can sit at a table with many listening sticks? vertical earphones? and enjoy the book or music.

| a nicely set table promoting cookbooks |
Recently a popular cooking show was coming to town so the library promoted its cookbooks.
Downstairs is an enormous music library and the local history collection, which often have displays. This weekend I hope we'll make a tupilak (carved creatrue) as part of month-long cultural event focusing on Greenland this year. What's not to love?
I really had to chuckle at the locked magazines, and not the e-readers!
ReplyDeleteI guess that's like "Green History Month". Speaking of green, we are finally seeing some in Ithaca. I have some crocuses that have the tops bitten off of them. I'm not sure whether to blame rabbits, groundhogs or deer.
ReplyDeletep.s. I really love your "doings". what are you doing for Passover? Do they have matzoh in the grocery store? I wish I could send you some really good grape juice!
Franny is right, I found not one but 2 brands of kosher for Passover, organic grape juice at Greenstar!
ReplyDeleteYou can now download audio books from Ithaca library's website.
