Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative

Traverse des Sioux Library Cooperative (TdS), a nonprofit and regional library system in Minnesota, will provide readers ages eight and up with fiction and nonfiction e-books to help them both achieve their school and work goals as well as enjoy a full and rich life in this period of pandemic recovery. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, TdS experienced an immediate increase in demand for e-books for all readers, especially children. The demand has stayed high and is very likely to remain high during the pandemic recovery period, leveling off at 125 percent of the pre-pandemic demand. This project will help TdS meet this high demand and support pandemic recovery by providing educational and recreational books in the format the community finds useful.
