I have been surprised how many juvenile fiction ebooks my library gets.

I wonder if they have access to the statistics of what is checked out. Some of the best sellers have 50 people on the waiting list!

It's obvious some 'buyer' at the library picks what they get and there must be different prices for different books. Maybe they can get 5 juvenile fiction for the cost of 1 bestseller?? I've also wondered how long the library keeps them before they have to be renewed or dropped.

My library has added videos now, and I wish they would get more ebooks instead.
