To help people who are new to reading eBooks on their computers or eReaders, Coquitlam Public Library is once again offering training sessions that will cover how to download and authorize the software needed, search for and borrow a digital book from the library, transfer the book to an eReader and return a book. There will also be time for individual questions.
CPL subscribes to a large collection of eBooks and audiobooks. All that is required to borrow digital books is a library card and some software. Borrowing eBooks or audiobooks from the library is free of charge.
The eBooks can be read on a computer or eReader. Sony and Kobo eReaders are compatible for borrowing the library's digital books but Amazon's Kindle is not.
Patrons are welcome to bring their own eReaders and laptops if they want to click along with the instructor.
Upcoming sessions will be held Tuesday, March 29 from 3 to 4 p.m. in the program room of the City Centre branch (3001 Burlington Dr.) or Thursday, March 31 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Nancy Bennett Room at the Poirier branch (575 Poirier St.).
Registration is required for these tutorials as space is limited. Phone Jay at 604-937-4148 (Ext. 2) or email [email protected] to sign up. Registrants are asked to include their phone number in their email.
