News From Your Library
The Millington Arbela District Library will be closed all day on Monday, May 28th. to celebrate Memorial Day.
Are you still trying to learn to use your new e-book reader? Do you need help?
Join us at the Millington Arbela District Library on Saturday May 19th. from noon until 2:00pm for a free workshop. Amber Hughey will help citizens from Millington and Arbela Townships learn how to download an e-book, or an audio book, from the library’s downloadable collection. This will be a hands-on help session. All e-book readers are welcome.
Please pre-register for this workshop by calling the library at 989.871.2003.
The Millington Arbela District Library has replaced four aging public access Internet computers. The new computers were purchased as a result of the library’s receipt of a grant from the Terrence S. Kaiser and Barbra A. Kaiser Foundation.
The new Internet computers and staff computers will be equipped with Microsoft Office Pro 2010 and the Windows 7 operating systems. The library’s previous Internet computers were provided five years ago by a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
We are happy to announce that Amazon Kindle® compatibility with the Millington Arbela District Library’s eBook collection is here. This update allows most existing OverDrive eBooks to be read on all Kindle devices, or by using free Kindle apps on iPhone®, iPad®, Android™, and other mobile devices.
At launch, there will be a small number of PDF titles that are not yet available for Kindle. OverDrive and Amazon are working to reduce this number to achieve greater coverage. Read the rest of this entry »
