The New Brunswick public libraries are planning to start offering e-books in the next few months to allow people access to more reading material in different formats.

Tina Bourgeois, the regional director for libraries in the Albert-Westmorland-Kent Region, said people would eventually be able to download e-books from their home computer instead of visiting their local library branches.
"We do realize that it is definitely a request from our patrons," Bourgeois said.
Bourgeois said they are in negotiations to find a company that can provide electronic versions of books.
She said she expects it will take a few months to work out a final agreement.
"We are looking at different types of companies," Bourgeois said.
"So we are actively investigating and I don't want to name any specific companies right now because I'm not sure if contracts have been signed or not but we will be having access to … a large number of electronic books."
