Every Saturday during May and June BPL Community Engagement Librarian Mandi Johnson will have a booth at the Bossier City Farmer’s Market from 9a.m. until 2p.m. The Farmer’s Market is located at the Pierre Bossier Mall parking lot near I-20. Stop by to find out what new services are offered online.
With her iPad in hand Mandi will demonstrate how easy it is to connect to the library databases such as Hoopla, Overdirve, Flipster, and TumbleBook Library using an iPhone and iPad as well as other electronic devices.
Be sure to get a free glass of lemonade and pick up other giveaways and information about library events and services. It is a fun way to spend a Saturday.
