Does your public library use Overdrive/Libby for ebooks or audiobooks? β οΈ
In the US and Canada, the answer is probably yes. And you should speak to your library staff and commission about it.
Libby is now owned by a private equity firm & making sketchy changes: https://buttondown.email/ninelives/archive/the-coming-enshittification-of-public-libraries/
The latest development is that their overbroad privacy policy allows them to sell your borrowing history to advertisers: https://infosec.exchange/@longobord/112243098104196246
