Richard Dan Hill, a resident of Gwynn’s Island since 2007, has written a riveting and inspiring story, Proud of What I Was – A Soldier. In telling the story of his long and varied career, the author offers a profound and insightful view of life in the army.
Dan will share entertaining tales of some very funny situations as well as detailing what it was like to be a solder in peacetime and in war during his appearance at the Mathews Memorial Library on Wednesday, January 25th. Light refreshments will be served following the author’s talk which begins at 11 a.m. A book signing will also follow the presentation.
The Mathews Memorial Library is pleased to announce that a new eBook service will be launched soon! eBooks will (hopefully) be here in January, very shortly after the new year.
We are partnering with a consortium of libraries collectively known as Southern Virginia Libraries United Electronically (SOVALUe) to bring you OverDrive eBooks and downloadable audiobooks. OverDrive is the premier provider of electronic book content in public libraries all over the world. You will be able to download and read eBooks for free on your PC, Mac computer, tablet, or your dedicated eBook reader (including Nook, Kindle and many others). Depending upon the title you will also be able to download and listen to audiobooks on your computer or on your portable music device.
Our vendor is working hard behind the scenes to get everything ready to roll out the service this month. While we are waiting for this to happen, stop by the library and see our Technology Zoo including many popular e-reader devices. Ask for a tutorial on how to download e-book materials and we will be happy to demonstrate the procedure or answer your questions.
