Sacramento Public Library hosts Digital Library Festival on March 24
No matter if it is a holiday or late at night when libraries are closed, there are numerous services Sacramento Public Library card holders may access online 24/7. A Digital Library Festival is planned from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Wednesday, March 24, on 9th Street, between I and J streets, Sacramento (in front of the Tsakopoulos Library Galleria at the Central Library).
Several booths will provide useful information of online library programs and services, as well as community resources, that include finding jobs, improving one's health and wellness, tracing a family's genealogy, grade- and subject-specific homework help for 3rd to 12th grade students, self-help law resources, small business assistance, self-paced language learning courses and test tutorials, how to invest money wisely, library volunteer and support opportunities, and more.
The festival highlight will be the nationally-touring Overdrive Digital Bookmobile. The 74-foot tractor-trailer has hand-on electronic devices. It instructs visitors how to download eBooks, audiobooks, music, and videos which are available free from the library web site.
For details, telephone the Sacramento Public Library at (916) 264-2920 or visit saclibrary.org
