Another day, another instance of someone on the Fediverse telling people not to do something which is essentially a public good.
This time it's a librarian telling people not to borrow ebooks from libraries. The other option isn't cheaper, permanent physical books, I'm afraid. For many people, it's immediately available ebooks on pirate sites.
It's taken me so long to get my friends, nieces and godchildren to use Libby and BorrowBox (for audiobooks).
It is very disheartening to read something so exclusionary and privileged. I know most librarians want you to take advantage of anything and everything a library has to offer because their use justifies their expenditure.
