Travel resources

Will you be squeezing in any more travel this summer?  If so, keep in mind some resources your library offers you:

1.  Downloadable ebooks and eaudiobooks. If you have a smartphone, laptop, tablet, or ereader, remember that we can help you fill it up with free ebooks to take on the plane, in the car, and to your destination.  No rummaging for the paperback that fell to the bottom of your carry-on, flailing around for the book under the seat, or bemoaning the sequel you forgot to pack.  Through the Washington Anytime Library, NPL offers access to thousands of titles; depending on your device, you can even checkout and download the books at the airport, the rest stop, or the hotel!

2.  Friends of Neill Public Library book sale.  Ereaders not your thing?  No problem!  If you still want to take some books traveling, stop by the book sale area for the Friends of Neill Public Library.  They have great titles available, with fresh choices daily.  If you read a book and find you love it, leave it with your host.  If you finish a title while away, there's no reason to drag it along with you: lighten your load by finding a fellow traveler to pass it along to.  

3.  Travel resources.  NPL has great print and online resources with information about your travel destination.  From guides to regions and cities to language-learning resources, we've got what you need to not get lost during your get-away.  Thinking about getting a GPS or a smart phone with map features?  Check out Consumer Reports, in print and online.  Want some books that are set in the town, state, or country you intend to visit?  Your librarians can help you with Reader's Advisory tools. 

Stop by the library before you go!
