Device Advice

Coming up at FPL! We will be hosting two hands-on workshops for how to use our newest digital resources- Hoopla and Zinio.

Hoopla is for downloading audiobooks, TV shows, movies, and music from the library, and Zinio is for downloading magazines from the library.

The workshops will meet during the following times:

Saturday November 29, 10:00am - Zinio
Saturday December 13, 10:00am - Hoopla

Please bring your tablet or smartphone if you have one. (And don't forget to bring your Apple ID username and password if you have an Apple device.)

If you can't home to the hands-on workshops, we offer Device Advice every Monday and Wednesday night from 6-9pm at the Reference Desk. Bring your device and we will be happy to get you started or answer any questions you have about Overdrive, Hoopla, or Zinio.

We also offer Device Advice by appointment if you cannot come during its regular hours. You can make an appointment online or call us at 508-532-5570 Ext. 4361. We will arrange to meet one-on-one during a time that is convenient with your schedule.

Ready to start now? Visit www.framinghamlibrary.org/digital to see more information about Overdrive, Hoopla, and Zinio.
