Mmmmm Dept.
MANATEE - Books in cyberspace were a dud for the Manatee County library system.
The three-month free experiment ended with only 52 e-books checked out, a disappointing result that prompted library officials to decide not to spend a dime to continue making books available on computers.
"It was, for lack of a better term, a failure," John Van Berkel, library services manager, said Friday. "We had very little usage. We decided at the present time this is not a service we are going to provide. It would not be cost-effective to spend our money that way
Van Berkel said no attempt was made after the three-month period to ask patrons more about the program. He said nobody has complained to him about it ending.
