(6 October 2015) Geelong libraries are rapidly expanding their digital collections, as they cater for massive growth in demand for electronic books and audiobooks.
The explosion in e-materials has seen paper borrowings drop for the first time, with Geelong Regional Library Corporation recording a six per cent fall for physical items in 2014-15.
The opening of the new $45.5 million centrepiece library in Little Malop St next month will accelerate the digital transformation, backed by a free wi-fi service of 1GB per second.
The Geelong Advertiser has the story by Shane Fowles.
