It is a good way to see what there preferences are. They can cross over into the reading choices.Rachel Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823535313109517659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516013863016538837.post-49391906125562243772017-05-01T05:35:07.114-07:002017-05-01T05:35:07.114-07:00I learned to embrace the nerd in me.

I felt this when I really got into reading in middle school, and I realized how much more enriched I had become after reading so much. I still love to read and I see a lot of people around me starting to read more, as well. <br /><br />I agree, that books are becoming easily accessed through the eBook format. But I still don't think that print books will be out of style. Ebooks will be on the rise, though! Good prompt response!Baby Librarian Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14616377289312969375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516013863016538837.post-90846183103513031482017-04-30T18:12:55.398-07:002017-04-30T18:12:55.398-07:00Hello Rachel!

I find this goes both ways with me and the patrons I assist at my library. If they enjoy a certain genre of books, they are more likely to enjoy movies and TV series in those genres and vice versa. The movies and series based on books is a great way for people to see how interesting and involved books can be, especially for people who don't read often.<br /><br />I agree with you about the growing accessibility of books, especially eBooks on mobile devices that can be taken practically anywhere. I'm hopeful that as publishers move more into offering a wider and more full range of eBooks, their attitudes towards libraries and allowing eBooks in libraries will change for the better. Great job on your prompt response, Rachel!Julie Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04489922735519878077noreply@blogger.com
