State Ebook Library Coming To Connecticut

After complaints from patrons about the lack of access to ebooks in libraries across the state, Connecticut lawmakers have passed a bill giving the state library's board of trustees authority to create a state-wide ebook collection, accessible by anyone with a Connecticut library card.

Along with the authority to create a system for ensuring all Connecticut library card holders can access a collection of downloadable ebooks, state legislators have also made the resources to do so available, earmarking $2.2 million in the state budget
