CUMMING — The Forsyth County Public Library system is shifting into digital overdrive and wants to showcase its services to the community.

The OverDrive Inc. Digital Bookmobile National Tour will make a pit stop at the Cumming Library on from 12:30 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday to teach visitors and residents about the library’s digital content services.

At the free event, readers of all ages can learn how to access eBooks from the library through interactive demonstrations and high-definition instructional videos.

The Gadget Gallery — featuring Kindle Fire, iPad Mini, Android Galaxy Tablet, NOOK HD+, Creative Zen Kindle Paperwhite and Windows Phone 8 — will help visitors discover portable devices that are compatible with the library’s OverDrive digital learning services.

Laura Bradley, the library system’s program manager, said it’s an opportunity for residents to “surround themselves with books and technology.”

“This is a 74-foot-long community outreach vehicle equipped with hands-on digital displays and eReaders,” she said. “It’s a big change from the traditional bookmobiles of the past, and we think all our patrons — young and not-so-young — will enjoy taking a tour through this unique vehicle.”

In addition to the mobile devices available for use in the Gadget Gallery, the Digital Bookmobile also houses computers, high-definition monitors, premium sound systems and a variety of portable media players, all of which help visitors explore the library system’s digital services.

Interactive learning stations giver readers the chance to search the digital media collection housed with the library system, use supported mobile devices and sample eBooks, audiobooks and video.

Library cardholders can take advantage of the OverDrive digital collection any hour of the day and week to browse the growing collection of bestselling, new release and classic titles. They can also check out a digital title with a valid library card.

Once the digital titles have been checked out, readers can enjoy them in the browser or transfer them to their computer or a supported mobile device. At the end of the lending period, titles will automatically expire and are returned to the digital collection for someone else to check out.

There are never any late fees or damaged items.

The Digital Bookmobile is a service of the Forsyth County Public Library system and is operated by OverDrive Inc.

All ages are welcome to drop by the vehicle without prior registration.
