Quote:
President Barack Obama will go to a public library in one of Washington's poorest neighborhoods on Thursday to talk about a plan to give low-income children access to 10,000 e-books.
Working with publishers and libraries, the White House sees the modest plan as part of a strategy to address inner city problems by increasing educational opportunities for kids -- woes brought into focus with recent riots in nearby Baltimore.
Kids will need computers and devices to read the e-books.

No mention if it's 10,000 titles or total copies.
Given the "modest" adjective and the BPH involvement, it might be the latter.
Politicians are tricky that way.
Of course, kids with the necessary hardware already have access to a lot more than 10,000 titles.
