On the one hand: from spot 291 on the waiting list to borrowing the new #Murderbot in two days - hoorah!
On the other hand: I don't feel great knowing that my public library paid several multiples more than individual consumers pay for digital copies that "expire" after 2 years or 26 loans.
On the other, other hand: do I know anyone in #Illinois? Please call your state senator and ask them to support House Bill 5236, The Digital Library Protection Act. This bill, which passed the Illinois House 99-0, will prevent publishers from restricting a library's ability to determine loan periods, from charging libraries more than the public for the same item, or from limiting the number of licenses a library can acquire after an item is available to the public.
