Cleveland Public Library, along with all 31 CLEVNET libraries, got a "thumbs up" from library patrons for digital downloads at Progressive Field's Gateway Plaza on Friday. Local company OverDrive showcased their high-tech Digital Bookmobile, demonstrating how easy one can download eBooks, Audio Books, Music & Video from our eMedia Collection -- and it's all available at your CLEVNET library! Slider passed out hugs, danced and mugged for the camera. See photos from the event...
We are proud to announce that the CLEVNET library consortium’s eMedia collection is the first to offer patrons the ability to check out and download titles in the new EPUB format. EPUB is a reflowable XML-based format for eBooks and other digital publications developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (www.idpf.org) and adopted by leading publishers and technology firms as the industry standard for eBooks. EPUB titles can be read on your PC or Mac with the free Adobe® Digital Editions software, and can be transferred to a Sony® Reader for reading on the go.
Our eMedia collection also offers thousands of audiobooks, eBooks, music, and video titles in various formats that can be checked out and downloaded right to your home computer. They can then be transferred to supported devices like MP3 Players, iPods, Smartphone and PDA’s. You can even burn some titles to CD. Titles range from New York Times Best Sellers, such as Marley & Me and The Last Lecture to classics such as Pride and Prejudice and 1984.
