THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, THURSDAY, JANUARY 19,2023 B5 Pettigrew Regional Libraries offer e-books, audiobooks Y ou can’t beat holding a good book in your hands. Books have a distinct smell The accomplishment of turning a page to explore the next is also distinct to books. They are like hand held journeys. While some argue that books may go the way of the dodo in the future, I believe physical books are here to stay. They are too critical to the human experience. That said, libraries offer a variety of informational mediums. At Pet tigrew Regional Libraries we offer more than just books. Most recently, we have updat ed our online catalog to include eBooks and audiobooks. This means that when you search for a title in our catalog you can now find these resources. If you are on the go and forgot to grab NATE your favorite book KING you can use your PC or smartphone to read or listen to a book. Simply visit our catalog by putting httpy/ww’w.pettigrew.lib.nc.us:8080/ into your browser URL bar. Then search for your favorite book. If you see (electronic resource) appear after the title of the item that means it is an electronic resource. Make sure you have your library card handy because you will need it if you wish to check out an eBook or audiobook. Once you’ve found an item of interest you can click on “More Options” to view the resource hold ing information. On PCs, you will then sign in by choosing Pettigrew Regional Library as your library and by inputting your library card number. Your library card number is the number on the back of your card underneath the barcode. If you are using a smartphone, I recommend downloading the Libby app from the Google Play or Apple store. It is a free download. You will login in a similar way. Once the app is installed it will ask you to select your library and input your library card number. Look for Pettigrew Regional Library and enter your number. Then you can begin browsing right way. If an eBook or audiobook is checked out you can place a hold on the item to ensure you are in the queue to access the item. Some of the more popular audiobooks might require you to place a hold. If you don’t have a library card visit your local library in Washing ton, Tyrrell, Chowan or Perquimans County. We will be happy to assist you. It takes about two minutes to get a library card. Then you can start epjoying all of the resources our libraries offer - whether it be a physical book, DVD, game, eBook, or audio book. Our staff members are here to help and we look forward to serving you. Nate King is the Librarian at the Tyrrell County Library. GARDNER Continued from B2 to give us cash for gasoline. She told us about her children and her extended family. We never found out exactly why the niece who dropped her at Walmart failed to pick her up. A son living in Raleigh had bought the small house where she lived. It was next to a church. No caijackers were visible. I was embarrassed I even thought of that. After one final offer of cash and our instructions to pay it for ward to someone who needed it more, we said goodbye, left Lula in her little house and asked her to offer a prayer for us instead. It wasn’t even 6 p.m. yet, still working hours, as we headed back to Elizabeth City. Diana’s phone rang. It was an ¬ other real estate agent with a cash offer to buy a piece of property she had been frying to sell for awhile. “See? We were supposed to be here,” Diana said. Less than 72 hours later, I was eating lunch with Hood Elks at our Rotary meeting. He wanted to know how our trip to Edenton turned out. I shared the story and Diana’s intuition. Ellis said it re minded him of a verse discussed in his Bible class. The gist of it is, “Let God interrupt.” I agreed and pointed out that we saved $40 on tickets to see the Jae Sinnett Trio at Arts of the Albemarle the same night. After lunch, Ellis’s law partner, Andrew Howle, oversaw the drawing for the weekly 50-50 raffle. I won. The prize was $23, about what I spent on gas to get to Edenton. Three days later we were on the way to Raleigh for Christmas. In Rocky Mount the owner of a convenience store comped us a couple cups of coffee, use of the bathroom and a chat, since none of her employees had shown up to work. As fellow columnist Reggie Ponder recently wrote, some times “Slow and not so furious” is better. Doug Gardner tries to do the right thing in Weeksville.
