Bits & Pieces
by Vicki Kurashige
The North
Chatham Library is delighted to welcome
its patrons to a new feature sponsored by the Mid-Hudson Library System. "Overdrive" is a downloadable audio book feature with over 200 books, many classics. When you open our homepage NorthChathamLibrary.org , you will find the 'Download Audiobooks' icon. With your Library barcode and pin number, it is possible to check out 2 books for a period of one or two weeks. (After which time they disappear from your computer.) First, download the book to your computer, and then if you have one, transfer it to your portable listening devise (MP3 player). The directions
are fairly clear, and we at the library can help if you run into a snag. Good luck and tell us how you do.
Remember to
use the library website to keep informed about updates and to check the calendar!
