Sony Unveils Reader Library Program to Promote Digital Reading at Public Libraries
The Reader Library program is open to public libraries with robust eBook lending programs. Program components include:
* A training program for library staff developed by Sony. This one-time web-based session covers digital reading formats, an overview of sources for digital materials, and training on Sony's Reader digital reading devices.
* Sony's Reader digital reading devices for use by library staff and educational materials to provide readers background materials on digital reading devices. Sony will begin the program with a handful of libraries nationwide to tailor educational materials that reflect the content and features of each library's digital collection.
* Bi-annual update sessions designed to keep libraries and their staff current with the latest developments in digital reading content, format and devices.
