Most Popular E-Books of 2013 Available for Borrowing
TORONTO (December 19, 2013) – Toronto Public Library reached a new milestone in 2013, with more than two million downloads of e-books and e-magazines. The Library is adding popular and best-selling titles on a daily basis to respond to this rapidly growing demand. Interest in e-books is expected to grow even more over the holidays as people receive e-readers or tablets and have a little more time to catch up on their reading.
We’re taking this opportunity to remind readers of our e-book collection. Here’s a list of some of 2013's top-circulating e-books that are available to borrow:
Top 2013 Fiction E-Books
Top 2013 Non-Fiction E-Books
A full listing of Toronto Public Library's most popular e-books of 2013 is also available.
Customers who are new to e-books and need some assistance may contact our e-mail support or take advantage of the Book A Librarian service.
The Toronto Public Library Board continues to advocate for improved access to e-content from all publishers, including new titles and fair pricing. Providing universal access for all library customers is particularly important given the rapidly growing demand for this content.
While e-books are experiencing significant growth, demand for traditional print materials remains strong. Of all materials borrowed from the library in the last year, approximately 6 per cent were e-titles.
