    I was cranky on that day when I couldn’t help a patron put a book on her nook, but things are improving regarding our ability to do so. I talked with some coworkers and we are going to install the OverDrive Console on the Help Desk computer on the main floor and on at least one machine to start with in our computer lab. We will soon be able to help patrons who want to download e-books and e-audio!
