Under the My Bookspace section on the JCL web site you can find an article with links to free e-book resources on the Web. However, we don't yet have access to popular current fiction and best sellers in e-book format. The estimated cost of adding this service right now is about $12,000 per year, but that cost could increase significantly in the future. We would like to add an e-book subscription service for our patrons, but there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered. We want to be sure that if we start the service we will be able to sustain it over time. Our Jefferson County Library Foundation is focused on raising money to fund new technologies like e-books. You can help this effort by sending your tax-deductible donation to: Jefferson County Library Foundation c/o Jefferson County Library 5678 State Road PP High Ridge MO 63049
