Overdrive Truck

Today, at the Herndon branch of the Orange County Library System, we hosted the Overdrive truck. Overdrive is a provider of Downloadable Audio books and Ebooks to libraries across the country. You can download materials and transfer them to your IPods, MP3s, or portable devices. We, also gave away MP3s to patrons throughout the day. We had visits from the library's administration team as well as the Acquisitions Manager, Debbie Tour and the Assistant Manager in Collection Development, Vanessa Neblett. We had 158 patrons visit the inside the truck which included a number of big screen TVs and is so large that up to 30 people can be in it at one time. To give you an idea of the size of this downloadable bookmobile, it is 63,000 pounds. Now that may not mean much, but in layman terms, they could not do an event in D.C., because the truck weighed too much to be on top of the subway. Truly amazing. I'll try to upload some pics as well.
