If you’re gifted with a new e-gadget this season, keep this tip in mind: the Free Library’s gadget gurus can help you make the most of your new device. Stop by the Central Library lobby to meet with a tech pro from 2-4 p.m. on December 26-28 or January 2-4. Learn how to download any of 80,000 ebooks to your Kindle or Nook, or discover the hidden features of your new iPad or Windows 8 tablet. The best part is that they’ll also help you get materials from the library’s extensive digital collections. Don’t have a library card? They can also sign you up for one right on the spot.
