What's Happening at MLD...

Have you ever checked out an e-book? The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, a non-profit research organization in Washington, DC, is conducting an online survey of public library patrons who borrow e-books. If you have checked out or downloaded e-books from a public library, please consider taking Pew Internet's survey. All responses will be confidential, although your answers may be quoted anonymously in a future report. The survey should take about 15 minutes.
