The Conant Public Library helped CW MARS reach a record-breaking 1.7 million digital book checkouts in 2020. For CW MARS, this accomplishment illustrates the continued growth and importance of library digital lending of ebooks and audiobooks, especially in a year with building closures due to the global pandemic. CW MARS, consisting of 150 libraries in central and western Massachusetts including the Conant Public Library, is one of 102 public library systems worldwide that surpassed one million checkouts. The Conant Public Library and other CW MARS member libraries have been providing readers 24/7 access to ebooks and audiobooks for several years through OverDrive and its award-winning Libby reading app. Reader interest and usage has grown every year.
