Overdrive's Digital Bookmobile Visits Madison Public Library

The 74-foot Digital Bookmobile, with broadband Internet, computers, and portable music players will visit Madison Public Library July 2 as part of nationwide tour, sponsored by Overdrive, Inc. Visitors can experience how to download books, music and video, including the electronic resources available through the Wisconsin Public Library Consortium at http://dbooks.wplc.info/. Madison Public Library reports that by the end of 2009, the digital collection will have been used more than in the entire previous year.

The La Crosse Tribune also reported about the Digital Bookmobile's visit to La Crosse Public Library, and director Kelly Krieg-Sigman's take on the significance of digital materials.
