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.
