Time to celebrate! Get connected @ your library, this week and year-round! Here are some great ways to do just that!
Download an ebook or e-audiobook at http://owwl2go.owwl.org, powered by OverDrive®. This Web site is the Pioneer Library System’s gateway to nearly 800 children’s and teen book titles that can be listened to on an iPod®, mp3 player, or computer. You can also suggest titles for the library to purchase and keep a “wish list” of future books to read.
Try out a book-focused Web site like GoodReads, LibraryThing, or Shelfari. Look at the Pioneer Library System’s Web site, www.owwl.org. For readers, there are numerous booklists under the “Readers’ Corner” tab plus an electronic newsletter, “Teen Scene,” covering new books just for you. The newsletter is a free subscription service and you can choose to receive an e-mail whenever the booklists are updated.
Check out some favorite DVDs or CDs from MPL. Learn how to place a hold on items the library doesn’t own, like video games, anime titles, or recordings of your favorite performer. There’s no cost to have them sent to Macedon for you, from anywhere in the four counties of the Pioneer Library System.
Or try any of the following techy opportunies:
Create an avatar on Yahoo! Avatars.
Read and contribute to a blog about technology.
Create a YouTube or Animoto video about a favorite book.
Learn how to DJ music or record music with a computer.
Learn how to use some new software.
Create a database of something you want to organize.
Start your own Twitter, Tumblr, or Flickr account.
“Like” Macedon Public Library on Facebook.com to keep track of teen programs and events.
