Just curious: How is downloading free eBooks "a simple way to support your local library"? Does the library benefit in any tangible way? Great blog. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI can answer that! Circulation of material is a measurement that is automatically tracked. When circulation it shows we are providing a valuable service to our community, which makes our funding sources happy. Like all dollars in this fragile economy when it comes to libraries, USE IT OR LOSE IT. Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteGrr... I meant when circulation IS UP it shows we are providing a valuable service to our community...so much for typing on an iPhone.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info, Leah. That's what I had hoped it meant, that it positively affects funding. I'm doing my part to keep circulation up! :) We love the library!
