Port Moody Public Library offers books in many forms, including paperbacks, hardcovers and audiobooks.
And soon, it will have e-readers.
You can join PMPL staff as they celebrate the arrival of a new e-reader collection next Thursday, Nov. 10 from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the library's ParkLane Room.
This is a great opportunity to visit PMPL's in-house "Petting Zoo," where patrons can try out a variety of e-readers. They can also enter a draw to be one of the first 10 people to borrow the new Kobo Touch.
"I think people will really enjoy the chance to try out these new readers," said adult services librarian Barbara Buxton. "They come loaded with 85 books ready to read."
Visitors will also learn how they can download free e-books from the library's website to their own e-readers. There is no need to register for the Nov. 10 event, just drop in.
For more information, call Buxton at 604-469-4704.
