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.

To see a full view of the "Libraries are Forever" infographic, click here for the Mashable.com article.

    That's an interesting question. Jeffrey Bezos, the founder of Amazon, tackled that very question in 2009 for the New York Times. You can see his suggestion for avoiding a water logged Kindle here: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/06/magazine/06fob-q4-t.html?_r=1
