The library as your workout buddy? including 7 e-books for your healthy resolutions

13Jan12

How are your resolutions going? Hopefully you have the support you need to learn new skills and make the changes you want to this year. Your support could be friends, family, community and even a favorite website. Have you thought of the library as part of your support system? I’ve found reading books and articles that support the changes I’m trying to make helps keep me on course and reminds me of my goals. Discover a book, audio, e-book, CD,  DVD, or digital resource every few weeks related to your resolution and you’ll have another tool for success by your side or at your fingertips. 

You can find many books and DVDs in our catalog but we also have many e-books available that you can borrow by downloading to your Kindle, Nook, iPad, smartphone, or your computer. They range from fiction bestsellers to healthy cookbooks to children’s books.  If you need help getting started, sign-up for one of our classes at the branches or online.

Because e-books are so popular, you’ll most likely need to a place a hold to check-out a popular title. Don’t let this stop you. Placing a hold will trigger additional copies to be purchased and most of the time, not many people are waiting. Keep an eye out for these icons when you search:

    Thanks from Yardley PA for the advice about placing a hold triggering the purchase of more copies. I never thought of that. PS, librarians rock.
