Today is "Download Day" at Miller

Do you own a Nook, a Kindle, a Sony e-reader, an iPad, iPhone or Android smartphone?

Do you want to know how to download free e-books from the Hamden Public Library to these devices? 

If you do, then plan to stop by Miller Library at 2901 Dixwell Ave. for the library’s first Download Day today [Jan. 18] between 11 a.m. and 7 p.m.

During that time, Head of Technical Services, Jessica Rogoz, will demonstrate how to download and install the proper apps and download items from the library’s e-book collection to these devices. She will also work with individuals on a one-to-one basis to get their device correctly synched for downloading.  

The library’s e-book collection is provided through Overdrive, a third-party vendor that supplies e-books in a variety of formats compatible with most e-readers and mobile devices.

 All Hamden residents are eligible to use this free service. A valid Hamden library card is required to set up an Overdrive account. Hamden residents may obtain a library card at any of the library’s three locations by presenting photo-ID and proof of Hamden residency. 

For further information about Download Day or e-book borrowing, call 203-287-2680.
