Thank you for clarifying that point 🙂

If someone ever asked me what word is beyond enraging, it’s “relax”. Shut up.

Off-topic: I’m insanely jealous of your GD Lithuanian dream team shirt (and shorts). I emailed the artist like, a month ago bc I want to buy a shirt, but I never heard back. I also tried the Lithuanian Cultural Center (or w/e it’s called) but they also don’t have smaller sizes…any vendor suggestions?

Yeah and it’s detailed and edited and with a great eye, so what?

Yeh, let’s do/try nothing and let the publisher digital monopoly destroy reading. Good plan for that well-informed citizenry /s.

Not exactly. IA purchased and digitized 1 book, then put the physical book away while the ebook circulated- ie no “double dipping.” Was it all kosher? No, but no one lost out except the publishers who are trying to squeeze every last penny out consumers- libraries or otherwise…

Charge me what you charge a regular person for an ebook; don’t quadruple the price to force demand (that James Patterson ebook that cost small town library USA $120 also has about 500 on hold for it).

Also, as a legit public librarian I want to point out that I don’t support just pirating- our code of professional ethics require balance between rights holders and the public, see number 4.

OP that night sky is mystifying! ✨💫 the telephone poles look esp detailed. I love it 💜💖

They are price gouging libraries out of digital existence, which only means patrons and access will suffer. This is totally by design.

Sure my ebook budget will keep paying $120/shitty James Patterson title on OD Advantage (compared to the retail of $30/hardback or, really a wholesale rate of like, $19 or we). It’s a totally sustainable /s.

Westwood library is also open on Sundays from 2-5 pm 🌻

Lots of local libraries have seed libraries where they give the seeds (and instructions) out for free.

Sorry, children exist ¯_(ツ)_/¯ Don’t be a dick and get over yourself.
