What is Digital Media?
We offer two types of digital books: eBooks and digital audio books. An eBook is a text-based, digital version of a book that can be read on your home computer, Mac, Smartphone, Nook, Kobo, Kindle, etc. Digital Audio Books, which are spoken-word digital audio files, can be enjoyed on your PC and hundreds of portable audio devices—you can even burn them to CD and listen in your car or on any standard CD player. Digital music and video can be downloaded to your personal PC, and enjoyed at home or transferred to any compatible MP3 player or portable device.
How It Works
Just install the free software from our website, then browse our collection of fiction, mysteries, romance, nonfiction, best sellers, and more. When you’re ready, you can download the digital titles directly to your home computer, transfer them to an MP3 player or portable device, or burn some audio books and music titles to CD. At the end of the lending period, your digital downloads are automatically returned — so there are never any late fees! A valid library card is all you need to begin enjoying digital media today!

LIBRARY BOOK BAG SEWING DIRECTIONS
For the past two years Mrs. Mohr’s Family and Consumer Science students at Bennington High School have made book bags to donate to the library. BPL has a long-time tradition of giving homemade book bags to children when they first sign up for a library card. These have been provided by various volunteers in the Bennington community. For those who would like to help ensure this tradition continues, we have provided the direction and patttern here for you to download: book-tote bag directions. Donations of fabric are also appreciated. Thank you!

Great Websites for Kids
Read Aloud Nebraska
The Bennington Public Library joins several communities across the state that have earned the designation of “Read Aloud Community” for 2008/2009. Read Aloud Communities are required to promote November as “Read Aloud to a Child Month” among citizens throughout the community as well as to engage in a variety of read-aloud activities throughout the year. The Bennington Public Library has made the commitment to promote reading aloud to children as one of the most important things adults do to help children improve their vocabulary, enhance listening skills and develop positive attitudes toward reading and learning,” says Mark Claussen, chairman of Read Aloud Nebraska. “We are proud to support “Read Aloud Communities” throughout Nebraska as they share the joy of reading with people of all ages.” The “Read Aloud Communities” program is an initiative of Read Aloud Nebraska, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to “promote healthy, successful children and families through reading aloud”.
