Waterford Library Using E-books To Modernize

For bookworms there have never been so many ways to read a book and local libraries are tying to meet the demand. 

While grocery stores may ask their customers, paper, or plastic but local libraries are asking their patrons print, or electronic. Libraries throughout New London county and Rhode Island - including Waterford - are using e-books as a way to modernize with the industry.

The began offering downloadable e-books and e-audioboks in November of 2011 as way to meet the growing demand of their customers.

“By offering e-books the library is doing what it has always done—making books available to the widest possible audience for free—hardcover books, paperback books, audiobooks and now digital books,” Waterford Public Library director Roslyn Rubinstein said.

Waterford Library patrons seem to love the new service. According to Rubinstein, in the eight weeks since they launched their e-book borrowing service almost 250 customers have borrowed eBooks through the library.
