But this small American high school began to use electronic books (e-books) instead of printed books since last summer. Why? School leaders say it’s the way of the future. “The school wants to put its focus on 21st-century learning,” the library’s manager, Tom Corbett, says. Few students are using library books to do their homework now. Most do their research online. Changing the library seems like the best way to meet students’ needs. Without printed books to care for, librarians can now pay more attention to helping students use the online library in new and better ways.‎ Teacher Nancy Boyle says her students still enjoy regular books. But they also read different kinds of electronic books. “I read them sometimes. So far, it’s been a success. It’s great. The kids are reading more,” she says.‎ Sixteen-year-old Meghan Chenausky says, “I love the feeling of reading books. I was really slow when I started reading electronic books. But now I read fast and I love them very much. It’s so convenient. You can have so many books right at your fingertips (指尖).”‎ ‎61.
