Changes to Digital Magazines
Starting in January, we will no longer have access to Nook Periodicals. This service comes to us as part of our subscription to Overdrive, our downloadable book and audio book delivery system. The State Library intends to replace the Nook Periodicals with another digital magazine resource, but at this time does not have a time line for the new digital magazine format from our vendor.
More than 2 dozen of the titles will disappear in January, with most of the other titles finishing up in March.
In the meantime, you do have access to full text magazine articles through our subscription to Ebsco or by visiting The Online Newsstand on our website.
Museum Passes
It's always a perfect time to visit a museum. Borrow a pass from the library for Billings Farm, VINS, The Currier Museum of Art. The Shelburne Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and The Mass MoCA.
Downloadable Books
Sick of buying books for your Kindle? Listened to all of our audio books? Try Overdrive! With a library card, you can download over 7000 audio books and over 9000 ebooks. You can also download magazines through NOOK periodicals. We can show you how!
Tech Night Mondays
Have questions about your new Kindle, iPad, laptop, or personal tech device? Visit us on Monday evenings from 5:30 – 7:00 pm and our resident tech whiz, Margot can help get you going in the right direction.
