Dania Maxwell/Staff Nicholas Villate, 7, reads a book on one of the sofa chairs while people peruse the new fiction shelves at the Collier County Library on Orange Blossom Drive on Thursday, January 3, 2012 in Naples, Fla. Villate's mother, Kathy Morris (not pictured) uses the library frequently because it is a free resource. As more bookstores close, libraries are adapting to consumer trends. Book collections include copies of the latest bestsellers as well as digital books for e-readers.
