As society moves increasingly toward being paperless, the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System is keeping pace, now offering patrons books on Kindle devices to support the library’s “Virtual Branch” website.

The announcement that the Prince George’s system is the first in the state to offer Kindle titles was made last week. The introduction of Kindle books is part of the OverDrive WIN Initiative, a series of improvements planned to support the library system’s virtual branch.

The county currently has more than 6,800 titles and is working with OverDrive to build the collection.

“We have a very strong relationship with OverDrive and have appreciated their continued support in helping us build our digital collection,” Valerie Piechocki, chief of materials management for the library system, said in a release.
