The Huntington City-Township Public Library will offer a free "eBooks and eAudios How-To and Troubleshooting Workshop" on Wednesday, Jan. 9, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m.
The workshop will be held at the Main Library, 255 W. Park Drive, Huntington.

Those attending should bring their reading or listening device - smartphone, iPad, tablet PC or eReader - along with the laptop if the device requires it to download items.

Advance registration is requested and may be done by calling the library at 356-0824.

The library currently offers eAudiobooks and eBooks, which may be downloaded anytime from the library's website - www.huntingtonpub.lib.in.us.

Items may be checked out by anyone with a valid library card and a six-digit PIN. Items may be downloaded to most mobile devices, including the iPad, iPod, iPhone, Nook, Kindle, Kobo, Sony eReader, Android-based tablets and most smartphones. Some audio titles can also be burned to CD.

There are no late fees. Titles automatically expire at the end of the lending period and may be deleted from the device.

The Huntington City-Township Public Library has partnered with six other public libraries in northeast Indiana to form a consortium called the Northeast Indiana Digital Library (NIDL).

By combining resources and creating a shared digital collection, these seven libraries have maximized their buying power to provide the greatest possible variety for their patrons at the lowest cost.

Other member libraries in the NIDL consortium include Berne Public Library, Eckhart Public Library in Auburn, Fremont Public Library, Nappanee Public Library, North Manchester Public Library and Wells County Public Library in Bluffton.
