Public Library Systems Spend $ 47,000 Annually on Personal Computers











(PRWEB) June 27, 2013

The study found that the public library systems in the sample spent a mean of $ 47,357 for personal computers and workstations in the past year. Laptops make some inroads into the public library market, and public libraries with more than 10 employees purchased a mean of 3.71 laptop computers in the past year. Nonetheless, smaller libraries with a budget of less than $ 100,000 had an average stock of only 1.31 laptops. Spending was also modest on eBook Reading devices, an estimated mean of $ 483 on eBook reading devices in 2012. However, mobile computing is making its mark on the Nation’s public libraries and 44.9% of the libraries sampled currently own or lease an Amazon Kindle and 18.37% of the libraries plan on purchasing a Barnes & Noble Nook over the next two years.

The report ($ 59.00) is available from Primary Research Group (http://www.PrimaryResearch.com) and also from major book vendors such as Amazon, Baker & Taylor, Yankee Book Peddler, Midwest Library Services, Overdrive and other distributors of content.
