If you are a fan of digital readers such as “Nook,” “Kindle” and “iPad,” or you enjoy listening to your books, the Fullerton Public Library is the place for you!
As a service to its patrons, the library now offers free downloads of audio books and e-books. All you need to have is a valid library card, which is also free.
“As the library evolves, our staff is always exploring new ways to offer services,” said Andrea Taylor, technical services division manager for the Fullerton Public Library. “We have found that e-readership has increased greatly and we have received many inquiries about this service in the past few years.
“In response to this interest – and thanks to the support of the Fullerton Public Library Foundation – we are now able to offer this service.”
This new service, powered by OverDrive, can be accessed through the library’s website at http://fullerton.lib.overdrive.com. Users just browse the library’s website, “check out” an e-book or audio book with a valid library card, and download it to their computers or mobile devices. Titles can be enjoyed immediately.
Titles will automatically expire at the end of the lending period, so there are no late fees!
Some of the audio titles can also be burned to CDs.
Taylor said that as a further service to its patrons, a “download station” has been provided in the Main Library for patrons to immediately begin downloading their audio book choices to their devices.
She added WiFi can be used to download e-books.
Further information about the new audio book and e-book service may be obtained by calling the Fullerton Public Library at (714) 738-6326.
The Fullerton Main Library is located at 353 W. Commonwealth Ave., adjacent to Fullerton City Hall. Main Library operating hours are 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 1-5 p.m. Sunday.
Persons requiring special accommodations to view the exhibit are asked to notify the staff prior to library.
