Public Library Online partners with Google to offer 'virtual bookshelves' to the nation’s public libraries (UK)

As of January 2012, public libraries across the UK will be able to offer their members digital editions of books on 'virtual bookshelves' accessible on library terminals and online. The two shelves on offer are The Arden Shakespeare, with 10 plays that are on the GCSE National Curriculum and Our Environment, with 10 books including The Hot Topic by Gabrielle Walker and Sir David King. The project is sponsored by Google and run by Public Library Online
