Nothing Beats a Good Book: Can E-Books and Libraries Coexist?

What do you think of this infographic? Do you read more e-books or printed books? When would you prefer one over the other?

Did you know the Parkland Library offers both e-book readers (Kindle) and print books? If you haven't checked out a Kindle, try one today! Want to see if one is available, click this link to open the library catalog. Once you select a Kindle, look at the "More Details" tab to see a listing of books loaded on that particular set. Each set (1 & 2) have a different listing of book titles.
