Readers are turning increasingly to non-traditional audio and e-books--and new stats from the New Brunswick Public Libraries show those forms are getting a foothold here in NB.
Over 1, 400 e-books and audio books were downloaded between December 26th and 28th this year, more than twice what was borrowed in 2011. Education Minister Danny Soucy says they hope the new formats will encourage New Brunswickers to read more often.
Close to 15,000 e-books and audiobooks are available through the Electronic Library. For more information, contact your local branch.
