What’s New?
Introducing OverDrive!
For patrons who enjoy the convenience of listening to
books on cassette, CD, and playaway, the newest phase of
audio-to-go is here: downloadable audio books.
The digital versions of audio books may be downloaded
through the internet and played on your desktop or laptop
computer. You can also transfer your selections to a wide
range of portable devices. iPod and Mac, however, do not
currently support WMA (Windows Media Audio) files.
You will need your library card number and PIN number
(usually the last four digits of your phone number) to set up
an account and install the free OverDrive Media console
software at www.listennjnw.org. Explore this easy-to-use
site or ask a staff member for assistance. Information will
also be available through the M.A.I.N. website.
PLAYAWAY - The Newest Way to Curl up with a Great Book!
We have now begun a collection of audio books in a new format
called "playaway".
So what is Playaway?
Playaway is the newest format of audio, combining a wide variety of content with an easy-to-use player all in one small unit. When you receive your Playaway, all you have to do is press play to start listening immediately – there is no need for a separate player, and it comes with earbuds and a battery to make it play.
Playaway is the most simple and immediate way to enjoy music and audiobooks. Its portability allows users to enjoy their favorite authors and titles on-the-go, whenever and wherever.
What makes Playaway unique?
If you don’t have your own ear buds, the library is selling them for
$1.00.
For more information, visit the Playaway
website. Playaways are located on the audio book shelves.
Try one—and let us know what you think!
Video Games are Coming!
This month the library is starting a video game rental collection that we hope will appeal not only to kids and teens, but to all family members. Games from several different platforms will be available, including Nintendo Wii , XBox 360, and Playstation 2. The initial collection has games rated E and E10, although some Teen-rated games will be available in the future. The rental cost for the games will be $2.00 for one week. Look for them soon in the DVD area.
Doors of Brookside - 60 th Anniversary Print Sale
In honor of the library's 60th anniversary, we are pleased to offer for sale prints of a pastel painting by Elizabeth Schrier. These prints depicting four “Doors of Brookside”, including the library, come matted and are available for $35.00.
Share Your Talents!
We need Adults and High School Students to Lead a One-Time Program. Enrich your community by volunteering. Are you a gardener, artist, singer, writer or storyteller? Share your hobbies and talents with children! The library is looking for volunteers to lead one-time programs for children. Please email Stephanie Cotton if you are interested.
