SAN BERNARDINO >> San Bernardino Public Library will take part and celebrate International Read an eBook Day, an annual holiday to celebrate and raise awareness for reading on digital devices, on Sept. 18.

Readers with a library card can access eBooks from San Bernardino Public Library on all major computers and devices, including iPhone, iPad, Nook, Android phones and tablets, Chromebook, and Kindle (U.S. only), anytime, anywhere by visiting http://sbpl.lib.overdrive.com .

Read an eBook Day is a celebration of modern storytelling. Readers around the world are encouraged to take part in the largest digital reading event by choosing from millions of free eBooks from their local library.

eBooks have proven to be a convenient, beneficial complement to traditional, physical books. When physical books are not available or practical – such as when a reader has to carry many at once, or if can’t make it to a store or library – eBooks offer a great alternative for instant access to reading.

To sign up for a library card, visit San Bernardino Public Library in person or online at www.sbpl.org and you can begin checking out digital titles immediately. To participate in International Read an eBook Day or learn how to get started, visit www.readanebookday.com.
