Boy, that brings back memories. When I was in Jr High, I used to ride the bus down town to the main library. It was a huge old building, just filled with books. I assume it's still there. I haven't been to Maryland in years.
I was forced into taking these trips by my need to find something new to read
. In both Jr High and High School, I started at one end of the school library and worked my way to the other end, reading everything except a few subjects that held no interest at all.
I hope they have good luck with the Nooks and that breakage isn't a problem. I imagine that going to ereaders will be more economical for the library. It certainly will take up less shelf space.
I don't read as much now as I did as a youngster, but I do find that an ereader (almost any type) makes it more convenient to read, thus I read more than I would with p-books. Perhaps this will be true of the library patrons as well.
