From the Announcement:
As Americans spend an increasing amount of time online at home and connected through mobile devices, America’s libraries are engaging readers digitally with eBook and audiobook downloads. The Digital Bookmobile (www.digitalbookmobile.com) will showcase eBooks and other digital formats available 24/7 from America’s libraries with a unique exhibit at the 2009 National Book Festival on Saturday, September 26 in Washington, DC. The high-tech 18-wheeler, as part of a national tour, will feature download services available from more than 9,000 libraries worldwide. Visitors will be able to browse a library’s download website, sample eBooks, digital audiobooks, music and video on interactive PC and Mac computer stations, learn how to download, and, test compatible devices including the iPod, Zune, and Sony Reader.
The Digital Bookmobile (developed inside a 74-foot, 18-wheel tractor-trailer) has traveled 18,000 miles and hosted more than 150 events with 25,000 library patrons and staff in 28 states and Canadian provinces since launching its national tour in New York City in August 2008.
