Howard Co. libraries lending e-readers
The Howard County Library started lending out e-readers to its patrons Dec. 1. The pilot program has become so popular since then that on Wednesday, more than 280 people were on the waiting list to check out one of the 60 Nooks that have 34 books downloaded on them, including best-sellers and classics, the Columbia Flier reports.
