And it&#39;s not just eBooks that patrons are looking for, says library Executive Director Sarah Moore. Her mid-sized library in central Indiana offers other types of digital content such as databases of specialized information, music, movies, and online courses. Libraries will often pay for a subscription to services such as language learning courses, allowing their patrons to access them with their library cards. While eBooks are still in demand, they only represent about 30% of content consumption and are leveling off, Moore says. Reading a physical book still offers big benefits over the digital version, especially for children. Moore believes that content consumption will continue to be mixed for quite some time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-82/How-Public-Libraries-are-Evolving-to-Keep-Up-With-the-Demand-for-Digital-Content.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../How-Public-Libraries-are-Evolving-to-Keep-Up-With-the-Demand-for-Digital-Content.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
