Summer Heat

Bremen is feeling the heat this week, though along the coast it stays cooler than other spots in Maine. But it makes for good reading weather- no need to feel guilty that you aren't out pulling weeds from the garden when the temps are over 90 degrees.
The summer reading program for kids is well under way. So far participants have explored the cultures of France, Mexico and Ehiopia. Coming up are the Netherlands, and for the final program on August 3, Colombia.
Members have been excited that the library is now part of the Maine Infonet Download program. Using their library membership numbers they can download eBooks and audiobooks to a variety of devices in the comfort of their homes. For information about the program check out the Bremen Library website which has a link to the Download Library.

The World of Digital Books has arrived !

The Bremen Library is pleased to announce that we have joined the Maine InfoNet Download Libary. This new service the library is offering to members, will allow access to an online library of digital books which can be downloaded to your personal eBook or Audio device in your home. All members need to download books, is their Bremen Library Patron number. Because the library doesn't use these numbers for circulation, you will need to contact the library to find out what your Patron Number is. These numbers are assigned automatically by the circulation software when you become a member of the library.
What is the Maine InfoNet Download Library? It is a collaborative of libraries in Maine that have joined together to offer a service that would be economically impossible for many individual libraries to provide. Through a grant from the Davis Foundation and contributions from member libraries, they have contracted with OverDrive to give access to a collection of downloadable eBooks and audio books. The Maine InfoNet Download Library web site at http://download.maineinfonet.org is easy to navigate and will let you see what devices can be used. At this time OverDrive does not support the Amazon Kindle, but works with the Nook, IPad and Iphones, Blackberries and computers. For help call the library and ask for Sue.
