They’ve arrived!  The library, and me, are very excited to present the newest members of our techonology family:

The Wacom Bamboo Create 

and

The Wacom Intuos 4

These digital drawing tablets are sure to extend your creative capabilities!

Never used a digital drawing pad before?  Have no fear!  We have introductory tutorials for you to investigate at your lesiure and all of our staff is there to help you get familiar with this innovative way to engage with the digital world.  Many find the pen stylus is a more natural tool than the mouse for not only navigation around the computer, but also in more complex graphic programs such as Adobe CS or Autodesk Sketchbook.  Once you get the feel for it, you’ll be off and going.

Both of these tablets can be used on any computer in the library- on the large screen desktops and on our laptops.  Additionally, they can be used with a patron’s own personal laptop!  Just install the drivers, plug it in and you’re on the road to detailed photo manipulations, seamless digital drawings, and quicker document editing.
