However, only 18 eReaders? If they are going to get rid of their paper library, then they need to provide every student with an eBook reader, provide wifi access for the entire campus, and do away with the library space itself - though they half did that anyway.
Paper books are on their way out. And I could not be more glad. eBooks are far superior - from the integration of information that is visual(sounds, pictures, and word) to the ability to hyperlink, to the ability to download a book anywhere anytime, the eBook is far superior.

I'd be shocked, except that I'm not sure why a HS needs a library in the first place.

I'm not surprised, I've seen enough American movies and TV shows to realize that.

They still have physical classrooms, and they're whining about "outdated technology"? Pfft. *NM*

Just because you're unnaturally attuned to "new" things doesn't mean everyone is.
