Rancho Mirage California library offers new device for ‘electronic’ reading

While enjoying the latest bestseller, Time magazine or the Wall Street Journal, techie page-turners at the library don’t hear the crinkling of paper.

About a month ago, the Rancho Mirage Public Library acquired two of Amazon.com’s hand-held wireless reading devices. So far, with word still getting out, only a handful of patrons have used the Kindle, said reference librarian Candace Cavanaugh.Library visitors stop by the information desk, leave their driver’s license and take a seat at one of the nearby tables for an “electronic” read.
