I believe that is a preconception may not be entirely true. My kids homeschool and we go to the library at least once a week. The library is built next door to a public school. When school lets out, the library floods with kids. I think it has more to do with the library being accessible to the students and having programs that include them. If the library was six blocks away, I doubt as many kids would come. It wouldn't have anything to do with lack of interest, but for young kids, it would be much less accessible. I'm sure there wouldn't be near as many parents willing to allow their young children to walk to a library six blocks away as ones willing to allow them to go next door.

Where can you borrow e-books for adobe digital editions?

netlibrary.com is one place, but only if your public library is set up with them. Check your local public library for eBook options. There are several services that libraries offer, including Overdrive, 3M Cloud Library and Axis 360 to name just a few. You can check out ebooks from participating libraries using your library card. Many eBooks are loaned to one person at a time (similar to a paper copy of the book) so you might need to put a reserve or hold on the title you are interested in. Also be aware that not all publishers license eBooks for library lending so the bestseller that you are interested in may not be in your library's collection. there are thousands of eBook which are available through libraries and this is a great and convenient way to expand your reading options.
