Have you ever checked out an e-book from your public library?

The Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project, a non-profit research organization in Washington, DC, is conducting an online survey of public library patrons who borrow e-books.
If you have checked out or downloaded e-books from a public library, please consider taking Pew Internet's survey, available at the link below. All responses will be confidential, although your answers may be quoted anonymously in a future report.
The survey should take about 15 minutes. To take the survey, visit: http://libraries.pewinternet.org/participate/survey/e-book-borrowers
