Our libraries (Minnesota) are still closed to public, but they've reported a huge surge in ebook/audiobook downloads and curbside pickups starting in March. This will likely continue for some time. Glad to see it. I personally am not downloading anything in order to leave content available to those who have fewer choices. I have plenty of books to read and listen to.

FWIW, there is a lot of e-content at my library as well including newspapers, magazines and journals. I can no longer read print, so this is great for those of us with vision problems.
