*You may notice some delays and longer wait times to check out e-books and audiobooks. Top publishers are placing further restrictions in purchasing and pricing models for libraries, including the Pierce County Library System.
The models will greatly limit the choices libraries can offer you. We share frustration with this new publishing model, however, we still offer more than 70,000 great e-books and audiobooks.
Library associations and libraries across the country are urging publishers to consider the true impact of these limitations on readers. Thank you for your patience!
