Students' use of Kindles increases reading, brings fame to Chambersburg Area School District libraries - Chambersburg Public Opinion

Students' use of Kindles increases reading, brings fame to Chambersburg Area School District libraries - Chambersburg Public Opinion: "Chambersburg Area School District library leaders Joanne Hammond and Susan Berrier discussed E-readers, in this case Kindles, during a presentation to the school board Wednesday. The electronic devices were purchased as a way to interest students in reading books and provide them technology to work with. The school has 30 Kindles and a cart to charge and store them in.

The devices have increased the number of minutes students have spent reading and also the number of books that have been read.

Now the library is receiving national recognition."
