<p><b><span lang="EN" style="font-size:24.0pt">ALA calls for Penguin Group to restore e-book access to library patrons</span></b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN">WASHINGTON, DC – Yesterday, the Penguin Group (USA), announced it was discontinuing the lending of new e-book titles to library patrons. In addition, library patrons with the Amazon Kindle e-reader will no longer be able to check-out any
Penguin titles from libraries.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN">American Library Association (ALA) President-elect Maureen Sullivan released the following statement regarding the abrupt change in e-book access:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN">“Penguin Group’s recent action to limit access to new e-book titles to libraries has serious ramifications. The issue for library patrons is loss of access to books, period. Once again, readers are the losers.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN">“If Penguin has an issue with Amazon, we ask that they deal with Amazon directly and not hold libraries hostage to a conflict of business models.
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN">“This situation is one more log thrown onto the fire of libraries’ abilities to provide access to books – in this case titles they’ve already purchased. Penguin should restore access for library patrons now.”</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang="EN">The American Library Association is the oldest and largest library association in the world, with more than 60,000 members. Its mission is to promote the highest quality library and information services and public access to information.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
