Just finished my first public library checkout! I had checked my library out in the past and found its selection limited, and not updated very often. Turns out they must have been taking a hiatus to upgrade formats because they now have a ton of epub---several hundred, from fiction to non-fiction and YA. I am so excited and will definitely be buying less often and keeping an eye on the library offerings.

A lot of people talk about wanting library support as a feature on their ebook reader but I am curious about how many people have actually availed themselves of this option. I am also interested in learning from those who have what the best option might be for showing the library there is a market for this and we want more. Who should I write to in my library's power structure to thank them for the expanded offerings and ask for more?

So...library ebooks...

Have you read them? Do you plan to? Comments or opinions?
