    Reblogged this on Library and Information Services Updates and commented:
    Libraries in India are cautiously embracing eReaders and that is evident with Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) Pattom set up an ‘E-Reading Hub’. Having purchased 10 Kindles for their users, it is encouraging news that KV Pattom has taken such steps to improve their library and provide new services to their readers.
