E-Books?
Are there any students or staff at Howe Sound reading e-books? As well, are you purchasing and downloading e-books to a device such as Kindle or Sony Reader? Would really be interested in hearing your thoughts about e-books and whether you think we are at the point where the library should be purchasing e-books. If you are outside our school community, your thoughts are welcome as well.
