Can You Help Us?
The “Downloading and more 101 program” at the Mount Gilead Public Library was very well attended with 50 people. However, with all the different types of devices, it made it difficult to speak to any one device. The comment heard from different people was to have a program for specific devices. It would make sense to have a program for all the Nook products, another one for the Kindle products and a third for the Apple products. The devices listed were ones most of the people in attendance were using. Unfortunately, few people have the expertise needed on these devices. This is where community help is needed. If anyone is interested in explaining to a small group of people how to download materials from the library website using a particular device, please call Mike Kirk at the library (419-947-5866) or e-mail at kirkmi@oplin.org for possible programs in February. For those interested in attending one of these programs, check back on this website for a specific schedule.
E-books have arrived at M.G.P.L.
The library now has e-books (including Kindle compatible), audiobooks and more available to the patrons of the library. These can be downloaded to most e-readers, cell phones and computers. To visit the website, click on the icon to the right.
Have you tried a CD-Book?
Each year more Morrow County residents commute to work. Instead of listening to the radio or music CD's, another option is books on CD. The Mount Gilead Public Library has titles by many of today's popular authors. The number of disks range from five to twenty providing hours of listening pleasure as you drive to and from work or are planning on taking a vacation. All CD books circulate for two weeks and can be renewed for another two weeks if needed. Check the catalog for available titles.
M.G.P.L. Has Three Story Hour Programs Per Week
Story Hour is underway at M.G.P.L. Every week, there are three programs to accomodate toddlers, pre-schoolers and early elementary students. Miss Lori and Miss Sharon always have lots of stories to read, crafts to make, and fun to be had for both child and their loved ones. Stop in the library for details or check out the section above titled "Kids"
