Welcome
to
this
edition
of
newsmakers
this
december
ebook
readers
such
as
the
nook,
the
sony
and
the
kindle
became
this
year's
favorite
gift
to
give
and
get
within
days.
The
arlington
library's
collection
of
ebooks
saw
a
sharp
uptick
in
use.
Responding
to
this
trend,
library
staff
scheduled
an
ebook
boot
camp
for
new
and
sometimes
perplexed.
Ebook
owners.

We're
starting
to
get
a
lot
of
questions
and
we
had
a
feeling
that
over
the
christmas
holiday
questions
would
be
rolling
in
from
our
users
and
we
decided.
Wouldn't
it
be
great
if
we
could
point
them
towards
an
event.
So
everybody
could
come
to
one
place
and
talk
to
real
people
about
the
problems
they
were.
Having.

We
knew
that
an
increase
was
coming
because
of
the
holidays
and
because
of
the
new
apps.
So
we
were
closely
watching
the
titles
that
we
had.
We
even
added
titles
to
our
collection
the
week
before
christmas
and
about
as
quickly
as
we
could
add
them
to
the
catalog.
They
were
checked
out.
If
you
look
today,
you'll
see
that
75
of
the
collection
is
checked
out
as
we
speak.
We
really
just
can't
keep
them
in
stock
fast
enough
for
our
users.

Going
to
be
really
challenging
for
us
for
libraries
because
we're
not
going
to
lose
readers
of
the
print
they're
still
going
to
be
that
you
know
they've
been
predicting
the
end
of
the
book
for
how
many
years
now
and
we've
still
our
book.
Our
book
use
goes
up
every
year,
but
so
does
our
use
of
the
electronics.
