As a child, I loved to read books. The library was a window to the world, a pathway to worlds and people far from my neighborhood in Philadelphia. And even today, as I travel around the world, I often visit places I used to dream about because of the books I'd read. The library made a difference in my life. -- Ed Bradley

• "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE eBOOKS?" *11/10/2008*
  In order to improve the speed/reliability of our online catalog, we have removed almost 30,000 records for the eBooks that are available from netLibrary through the TexShare Database program. (Please note that this refers only the records for eBooks, and not eAudiobooks).
  
  This does not mean that the eBooks are no longer available. You can still access them through netLibrary; you will just need to search for them directly at their site.
  
  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
