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

    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.
