My 24-7 Online Library

My 24-7 Online Library library

Yes I do have a lot of books, tapes, cd’s in my office but I am always wanting to read something more so I do spend a fair amount of time at the Library.

I have library cards for libraries all around Wisconsin, as I do travel a lot, not only do I find great things to read and listen to at these libraries but they also make great places to get a little bit of paperwork done.

When I am home though I seem to spend less time at the library than you would think, maybe it is because I can enjoy so many of the great books these days from the comfort of my recliner using my Overdrive Media Console which works on my PC and on my Android.

overdriveNot only is it more comfortable for me to read in my recliner but Jack likes it better too since the people at the brick and mortar library make him wait outside guarding the bicycles.

With my Overdrive console I can check out many great books and audio books that they don’t have in the collection at the Portage County Library down the street, and then I can read or listen to them on my Android phone or tablet.

And for all the Apple folks out there, I believe that there is an app for you too.

 

And the best part about a library is that it is FREE!

For us, the local library is a wonderful source for enjoyment. The library system in Montgomery County, MD is very large and we are usually able to find the books that we want to read. My wife also takes her Kindle everywhere.

Bob, I like this app and will be checking into it. To be able to use it from the comfort of your own home, car, office or whatever is the best.

That Overdrive Console looks really cool... I love Audiobooks and I'm an Amazon nut when it comes to reading and most of my books  I get on my Kindle, IPad.. you know how it is... but it's all great stuff... Happy Day

I dont get the library as often as I should but I do have a card to the local ones.  My kindle has been keeping me busy with the reading and I've got a long list of books lined up at home that I need to get to as well.

I wish I had more time to read, I really do enjoy it, but it has been quite a while since I have enjoyed a good book.  Those are some great ideas I need to check out though.
