Pat Boone, the singing rage of the teenage set, has signed an exclusive contract with the Newport Shoe Manufacturing Corporation to promote the sale of white bucks which will be manufactured both here and in Lowell and which will be known as the Pat Boone white bucks. In the photo above, Pat is shown with Arthur Laganas, treasurer of the local concern, after the agreement was made in New York recently. Pat’s name will be used exclusively in connection with all types of shoes manufactured in both plants. He will wear the bucks in both his television and movie appearances and screen credits  will be given to the shoe line, Royal Cadet. The idea was born when officials of the concern sent a gift of a pair of bucks to Pat several months ago.

There is a new OverDrive Media Console app for the Nook Tablet and Nook Color. Why bother with the OMC app when you can already use the library’s digital collection on your Nook? With the OMC app, you won’t need to download books to your computer and transfer the titles via USB to the Nook Tablet or Color. Instead, after installing the app and authorizing the app with your Adobe ID, you’ll be able to browse the mobile NHDB site and download EPUB eBooks and MP3 audiobooks directly to your Nook Tablet and Nook Color.  Find instructions here:  http://nhdbooks.blogspot.com/search/label/Nook

If you need assistance, please ask at the circulation desk in the library.
