I'd be curious what the rationale is for publishers charging libraries more for digital copies than they do for print.

Great to see we have so many readers in our area.

Shitty to see publishers price gouging, but not unexpected in a capitalist hellscape.

I wonder how much it affects libraries that I can also walk a block in any direction and find a Little Free Library in one of my neighbor’s front yards. These certainly don’t replace the need for libraries, but I’d also have to pass up a lot of free books on my way to the library if I ever ran out of reading material.
