And the librarian pedaling DPL Connect, who's armed with a tablet and an Internet connection, can also provide more traditional services, helping customers with digital downloads (eBooks, audio books, digital magazines), offering reading suggestions, assisting with research and registering new customers for library cards.Ultimately, the DPL hopes to allow customers to check out library books from the bike -- anything from the collection, says spokeswoman Jen Morris. But for now, the books are free.
