E-Books

Several members have inquired about e-books and despite their popularity the library has not yet made them available. In an article today in the New York Times the following was noted: "While print books, both fiction and nonfiction, still make up the bulk of most library collections – e-books remain limited to less than 2 percent of many collections in part because some publishers limit their availability at libraries....."
As promised, we will continue to follow developments and keep you informed.
