E-books are becoming more mainstream in upstate New York libraries. In Monroe County, for example, more then 12-thousand people checked out 84-thousand E-books so far this year. It's triple the numbers the program had when it began in 2010. They say the numbers are still puny compared to the 9-million printed books checked out in Monroe county last year, but interest is growing.
