Elearning, we have a lot of requests for training on how to use laptops, how to use tablets, and so, again, we need to position ourselves to be able to do that as well. And i just wanted to add that im very pleased about our goal for the future of the Capital Project for a teen center. I know that at the Richmond Branch its wonderful the physical place. I know at the main branch when my daughter has taken up there to the teen area, it needs to be expanded because i think thats a middle school, especially is the time where kids stop reading and i think that age group from middle school to high school is critical. So, a teen center at a key place where theyre not bothered by their parents and they have their own space is really critical for addressing the achievement and opportunity gap and really making sure that kids and even adults are lifelong readers and learners, too, but thank you for that. Supervisor mar, i cant tell you how excited we are about that. Were staying out of the way

About dvds to audio books to ebooks. The trend is definitely on the emedia so were putting more dollars in there. Again, i said that our collection overall is about 11 which is probably one of the strongest allocations in terms of dollars. But we have a very strong print collection that, again, side by side with the ebooks and the elearning, we have a lot of requests for training on how to use laptops, how to use tablets, and so, again, we need to position ourselves to be able to do that as well.
