Breaking news! The Cushing Academy has made a huge leap towards the concept of an e-library. Their 144-year old library decided it was time to rid their collection of printed materials and go digital. Below is an excerpt of the article provided by The Boston Globe, published on September 4, 2009.
"This year, after having amassed a collection of more than 20,000 books, officials at the pristine campus about 90 minutes west of Boston have decided the 144-year-old school no longer needs a traditional library. The academy’s administrators have decided to discard all their books and have given away half of what stocked their sprawling stacks - the classics, novels, poetry, biographies, tomes on every subject from the humanities to the sciences. The future, they believe, is digital."
