3M continues leadership in bringing eBooks to public libraries
The 3M
Cloud Library eBook Lending Service will bring Simon & Schuster
eBooks to readers in a new pilot program at the New York Public Library
and Brooklyn Public Library. The program will make all Simon & Schuster
eBooks available to the library for purchase, including new titles.
“These pilot programs are a first step for publishers to engage in the
library eBook market,” said Tom Mercer, marketing manger, 3M Cloud
Library. “Through collaborations with publishers, 3M has been able to
help expand the overall market, bringing more digital titles to
libraries.”
Since its launch in 2011, the 3M Cloud Library has participated in
successful pilot programs with a number of top publishers, coordinating
mutually beneficial relationships between publishers and libraries. This
history includes a past program with the New York Public Library system,
one of the largest libraries in the United States.
