Is your tablet pretty much a pricey paperweight until you figure out how to use it?
That's OK. We can help you turn your digital doodad into a repository for the books, magazines and even movies you love.
The Mentor Public Library is holding a series of free tutorials in January where we'll show you how to get the most out of your Kindles, Nooks, tablets, smartphones, Kobos or any other kind of eReader device.
And—I can't stress this enough—these classes are free and open to everyone.
All the classes are from 10 to 11:30 a.m. in the Garfield Room of our library's Main Branch. You can register for them on the library's website or by calling (440) 255-8811 ext. 215.
The first session is Wednesday, Jan. 15. It's specifically for people with Nooks, Kobos and other types of eReaders but not Kindles, Kindle Fires, smartphones or tablets. If you want to learn how to download books to your Nook, this session is for you.
The second session is Thursday, Jan. 16. It's for people who want to learn how to check out library eBooks, audiobooks and other materials onto their tablets (including iPads) and smartphones.
The final session is Saturday, Jan. 18; and it's specifically for those with Kindles and Kindle Fires. Learn how to check out eBooks and more on your new eReader.
Mentor Public Library offers a lot of online services that are always available, even when our buildings are closed; and you can use them from the comfort of your own home.
Once you know how to do it, you'll be able to check out library eBooks, stream audiobooks and even watch movies (depending on what kind of device you use) on your eReader, smartphone or tablet.
No excuses: You're never too old or old-fashioned (or too young, for that matter,) to learn something new.
If you're intimidated by your new eReader, bring it to the library and one of our reference librarians will show you how to get the most out of it.
Besides, your eReader is more valuable as an eReader than it is as a paperweight.
