DOWNLOAD OF THE DAY: COOL STUFF YOU CAN KEEP FOREVER
by mariah
Here at AADL, we’ve got a LOT of fantastic stuff. Some of it is physical stuff: books, movies, CDs, art prints, telescopes, all sorts of tools for art and music and your home — BUT we’ve also got LOADS of cool stuff you don’t even have to come in to the library to get! From MYSTERIES to MUSIC to CLASSICS to HOW-TOs, we have DOWNLOADS galore — we have tons of things you can keep FOREVER (or at least until you decide you don’t want them anymore)!
So — to help our awesome users discover some of our goodies, we’re launching DOWNLOAD OF THE DAY. Each day, we’ll post a Lowdown — a little hint to tip you off on something downloadable you can find by searching our catalog. You’ll have a whole week after that initial post to figure out just what that special item is and download it.
If you’re the VERY FIRST PERSON to discover the download, you’ll get 1000 points for downloading the item + 500 points for being the early bird. Those points reduce depending on how many people have found the download, so if you’re speedy, you could still get 1499, 1498, etc. points.
Once the week’s up, we’ll REVEAL just what that download is to everyone. Once the cat’s outta the bag, anyone who downloads that specific thing will still get their part of the 1000 points for downloading, but you've got to find the item in the week between when the Lowdown is dropped, and when that item is posted as the Download of the Day to get that 500 point puzzle-solving bonus!
So really, Download of the Day is a game YOU CAN’T LOSE! Either you solve some puzzles to get cool stuff, or wait until the cool stuff is highlighted. No matter what, you get to download and KEEP COOL STUFF! Also, you get POINTS!
It’s a win-win! So get to it!

Do you have to be using a desktop computer to see you're awarded points? I found the very first one pretty quickly after the initial post, but since i was on an iphone i didn't appear to get any points for playing the songs. However, I just checked my scoreboard and it turns out I did, so now I'm confused...

glad you're enjoying it, VmT — as of right now, we plan to keep it rolling indefinitely — or at least as long as we have new/cool downloads to highlight (and we have a lot)!
