Leaping forward into the 21st century, the New York Public Library has announced that readers who refuse to physically go to the library can now borrow even more e-books from from their virtual collection, which will conveniently deliver books straight to your Kindle with the simple click of a button.
Titles on the library's e-book site include The Red Hot Chili Peppers: An Oral/Visual History, Joyce Carol Oates' A Widow's Story, and trash-tastic romance novel A Night To Surrender. Library officials say the e-books, which have been available previously for most e-readers except Kindle, have been flying off the virtual shelves.
Take a look at the library's full selection of e-books here, and check out their handy visual walkthrough on how to borrow them (E-readers get a standard a loan period of 14-21 days). No more excuses—get cracking on whatever's left of your summer reading list!
