TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WTXL) - While print books are still the most popular form of reading for Americans, a recent study by Pew Research Center shows a significant increase in the amount of Americans who read digital books, mainly audiobooks.

Many libraries, like the Leroy Collins Leon County Public Library, have already implemented online digital resources to keep up with this rising trend.

Leon County Public Library officials also say they have seen a 62 percent increase in e-books within the last year and are planning to add wireless hotspots in the near future.
