The Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project, a non-profit research organization in Washington, DC, is conducting an online survey of public library patrons who borrow e-books. If you have checked out or downloaded e-books from our library, please consider taking Pew Internet’s survey, available at the link below. Your participation with help us design future service.  All responses will be confidential, although your answers may be quoted anonymously in a future report. The survey should take about 15 minutes.To take the survey, visit: http://libraries.pewinternet.org/participate/survey/e-book-borrowers  
The Pew Internet Project will also be doing broader surveys of public library patrons general, as well as people (including non-library-users) who own e-readers or tablet computers. If you want to participate in those, you can sign up to be notified of future surveys here.
