Boston's French Cultural Center Launches First Francophone e-Library in U.S.

From The Boston Globe:

Boston’s French Cultural Center has expanded access to its electronic library to Francophiles nationwide making it the first French language e-Library in the country.
The Marlborough Street center had previously allowed only New England residents to access their e-Library of 550 eBooks and eAudiobooks, but the center has removed the geographic restriction to registering for a library subscription [fee-based].
