This is nuts! If we can buy it one time and have it forever why can’t a library? (Answer: publishers are greedy)

What a ridiculous set of rules. Libraries should get a deal

hylaandersoni :
of course, even libraries can't actually own digital things anymore. It is ridiculous everything is a license.

That’s a Doozie :
I always thought it was like Netflix, unlimited people could read a book at once. I never understood why they were ever due back. I get it now

As an avid reader, I literally thought it worked the same as regular books! Buy one license, loan it out forever 🤦♀️Thank you for sharing!

Wait, a book only survives 60 - 80 loans? I never even thought about it, that... feels low?

Ugh! So let me get this straight. Publishers save money by not having to physically publish the book but customers may the same for a physical and libraries pay MORE.

This doesn’t surprise me and I hate it. I use Libby a lot and get so frustrated waiting MONTHS for a digital book on loan 😐 It’s 1s & 0s just gimme.

So when I tag something on Libby, that isn’t available, does the librarian see that there is interest in it?

This is actually really important to know, until now I just rent as many books as allowed on Libby so I always have an option while commuting/walking.

So as readers and library patrons, what should we do now that we are armed with this information? How can we help?

I borrow a TON of books through Libby but I try very hard to be responsible and return early when possible.

How do we support our local libraries beyond voting for them? I love ebooks but I don’t want to waste resources using Libby if it’s better to buy my own copy when I have the funds. Thank you! 💗
