“People are realizing, ‘Why should I buy my books, my CDs – I can get it free at the library,’ ” Library Commissioner Mary Dempsey said Saturday, speaking at the dedication of a new library in Beverly.

Dempsey said the use of online holds – reserving books online to pick up at a local library – has increased 100 percent in the last year.
