E-book and audiobook holds placed were up 13% (214 million).Public library systems achieving more than 1 million digital book checkouts rose to 129, a 7% increase, including one system reporting over 10 million (the full list will be released later this month).Comics and graphic novel checkouts grew by 18% (33 million).while digital audio checkouts jumped 17% (191 million) and digital magazine checkouts were up 38% (32 million).
