Tina Bourgeois, the regional director for libraries in the Albert-Westmorland-Kent Region, said people would eventually be able to download e-books from their home computer instead of visiting their local library branches.

“We do realize that it is definitely a request from our patrons,” Bourgeois said.

Bourgeois said they are in negotiations to find a company that can provide electronic versions of books.
