Free+eReader+Opportunity

I read this on the WLMA Listserv today:

Beginning July 5, the Washington State Library will accept applications from libraries interested in participating in one of two pilot projects oriented around the use of eBook readers in Washington libraries. One project will be centered on training library staff to become familiar and comfortable with eBook readers. The other project involves libraries developing policies and procedures as they experiment with circulating eBook readers. Libraries may only apply to participate in one project.

Applications for the pilot project will be made available on July 5, and the submission deadline is July 29, 2011. For more information, visit www.sos.wa.gov/quicklinks/pilot. For questions, contact eBook Pilot project manager Carolyn Petersen at 360-570-5560 or Carolyn.petersen@sos.wa.gov.Fr
