Now that all of these fun new toys are appearing in our patron’s hands and our libraries, what do we do when we are asked to assist? This workshop will give you tools to answer those questions. Ereaders, smartphones, iPads, and more – we’ll even give you a chance to play and see for yourself what the fuss is all about.

Participants are invited to bring their own devices for the hands-on portion of the program.  Some devices will also be available on-site.
