Libraries Win - according to the Wall Street Journal

8/13/2014

With a "soft spot for public libraries", The Wall Street Journal  columnist Geoffrey Fowler (August 13, 2014, Page 1 of their Personal Journal section) asks essentially why would you pay a monthly fee to read e-books when you can get it free at your local public library? Over 90% of American's public libraries over e-books - including the Monrovia Public Library! In a not so random study of available titles, public libraries won out in the number of available titles against Kindle Unlimited, Oyster, and Scribe. It's easier than you think - just log into the library's website page for online resources with your card number and pin.

The Friends Board is anxious to reopen our collectable book store on Amazon. However, we need additional volunteers! As we identify books for potential listing on line, someone must confirm that determination, set a reasonable price,  and post the books on the website with a brief description. When items are sold, they must be packaged carefully and shipped. Work can be done at any time the Library is open!

Interested volunteers should contact the Volunteer Coordinator at the Monrovia Public Library.
