Baby, It's Cold Outside!

December 30, 2011

When it's cold outside, I love to snuggle up with a cup of hot cocoa and my dog, Truman, under the glow of my Nook. Wait, there's something wrong with this picture! Where's the book?

Just a year ago, MCPL began offering eBooks through OverDrive and I've been doing my happy dance ever since. My life has changed a lot. I no longer worry about lugging books back and forth, getting late fines, and protecting my paperbacks from the dog. If eBooks had been around when I went on my honeymoon to Jamaica, I wouldn't have had to pack a carry-on full of romance novels. I'd just have my little Nook, and save room for all the souvenirs I didn't get to bring home.

I dream of a vacation to somewhere warm this summer when I'll bring my eReader along for the journey. But until then, I'll nestle in with Truman and read on the Nook.
