Why it Matters
eBook reading is skyrocketing and so is the demand for titles. According to a study published last week by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, the share of Americans who read eBooks increased dramatically over the past year to 23 percent from the previous year?s 16 percent. The tablets and e-reader devices are now owned by one-third of the U.S. population, aged 16 and older. This rapid technology adoption rate is driving an insatiable appetite for eBook titles which has been difficult for public libraries to satisfy, until now.
If you wish to attend, you may RSVP by calling Debie Murchie at 360-651-7029 or replying at dmurchie@sno-isle.org.
