Davis libraries boosting technology, resources for users

FARMINGTON — As library patrons increasingly use electronic media to access information, Davis County Library is working to meet their demands.

Libraries have historically been a major source of knowledge, traditionally in the form of paper books. However, with the increased use of technology, libraries are beginning to expand their resources.

Davis County Library is working to enhance its technology assets by purchasing more e-books, offering online learning games and tools for children and providing access to online car repair manuals, genealogy databases and foreign language courses.

Book lover 'just says no' to Kindle

I was watching TV when a stop-motion animation commercial came on. A girl was doing all these amazing things in cute costumes, and I wondered, "What's this commercial for?"

And then I found out.

Kindle. And I say that the way I would say the name of a dreaded enemy before we face off and fight to the death in an epic movie.
