    Yes but also the more people that want e-books the more the library has to pay. I listened in on a reason they were closing a library branch and one reason was the publishers require full amounts for the e-books to be “licensed” and it only lasts for a couple years. Then they just pay for a full price book license again. So over time it’s so much more expensive as the library has a reoccurring price they have to pay per book and can’t even sell off old books to recoup an initial cost.

    They even mentioned on the call that they tried to work with other counties to pool their bargaining power and the publishers don’t care and won’t give out any discounts.

    If it’s recycling or trash it should always be a common color. I’m used to blue for recycling but we should all agree on a single color. Green to me has always been common trash. Also I hate how recycling isn’t standard. I know reasons why they aren’t but I wish we’d all come together as a country to fix that (among the other 5,000 things).
