That doesn't include the Ontario Library Service Consortium which also had 1M+ downloads but has ~13.6M people bringing up total books but dropping the per capita rate.
Monkeys like digital content too. King County is my go to library; followed by Seattle. Most of the library systems in western Washington allow reciprocal borrowing. Puget Sound loves digital books.

I'm glad to see this increase, especially with audiobooks (my preferred format).
