Find Your Way @ the Library
In a continuing effort to offer up-to-date, exciting technology to the Darien community, the Darien Library will add a TomTom One XL S global positioning system (GPS) device to its arsenal of circulating technology, beginning Monday, May 5. About the size and weight of a standard iPod, the TomTom is small and easy to use. With sharp 4-color graphics, the TomTom's LCD screen is clear and easy to read. Voice and visual instructions help you navigate to your desired destination, avoiding construction sites and accidents, as well. The unit comes with a USB cable--so you can install TomTom HOME on your personal computer, free software for managing your personal maps--a car charger, and a Quick Start Guide. We've added a Nav-Mat, a padded dashboard mount, which will keep the unit safe and steady inside a moving vehicle.
Darien residents, those who work in Darien, and non-resident Contributors to the Library at the $300 level will be eligible to take the TomTom out for a spin. The unit will circulate for 1 week, will be renewable once if no one else is waiting, and may be reserved. Those interested in checking out the TomTom must present a valid credit card in their name at checkout. We will keep a copy of your credit card on file while you have the device.
So, if you're considering purchasing a GPS device but want to try one out first at no expense, here's your chance. For more information on the TomTom or any other Library technology, contact Judy Sgammato at 655-1234 x136 or send me an email at jsgammato@darienlibrary.org.
