We Added 16,000 Books to the Collection Overnight with this One Weird Trick!

OK, I should apologize for that blatant and outrageous exaggeration.

There was no weird trick.

What?!

That's right, we really did add 16,000 titles to the collection overnight! And I have to say it was a fairly mundane process. No exotic rituals, and no unconventional uses of common household products.

Dear member, allow me to introduce you to Comics Plus: Library Edition, the library's newest addition to its electronic services, which already includes eBooks, eAudiobooks, and eMagazines.

And remember:

It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it becomes rigid and stale.
