1. New A/C -- Yes, the library is now a very pleasant place to visit during these long super-hot days of summer, because it has a brand new air conditioning unit. Stop in to the library, pull up a chair, and chill out.
2. eBooks -- The library has access to all the materials available through the C/WMARS digital catalog. These include ebooks, audiobooks, and videos that can be downloaded and played on a variety of electronic devices, including computers, iPods, Nooks, and more. It's easy to use (though there is an occasional glitch with setting up the Nook with Adobe Digital Editions -- troubleshoot here) and best of all, just like library books, these books are free to use!
3. Museum passes -- According to the library website, the library has museum passes available on a first-come, first-served basis. Museums include MassMoCA, Norman Rockwell Museum, Eric Carle Museum, and more, and most of them are worth free admission for 2 adults and 2 children (though not all). Check them out!

Thanks, Linda!
There are lots of places to download free books (most are classics and in the public domain), and I hope to get a list put up one of these days. But for current best-sellers and popular titles, the library is definitely the way to go.
