Libraries are not just for reading books (2)
by Subbiah Arunachalam 13 Oct '14

13 Oct '14

Friends: Now one can not only borrow e-books from the local public library but also a device to read them (like an iPad or Kindle). See this news story from Texas, USA. < http://www.wacotrib.com/news/education/hewitt-library-offering-tablets-e-re… > One of the purposes of a public library is to reach knowledge and information to the community. And if that needs assistance with technology for those who cannot afford it, the library is ready to provide it.

Libraries are not just for reading books!

Friends: Libraries are not just for reading books! In the US many public libraries help members see films for free sitting at home. You don't have to subscribe to Netfix or pay to Amazon. All you need to is to be a member of a public library and have a library card. See < http://www.denverpost.com/business/ci_26704701/beyond-netflix-free-video-st… >.
