These discussions with students and especially school staff members are so difficult sometimes.
They see they can buy an e or audio book for X, but do not understand how the school library cannot.

No surprise to librarians, but perhaps surprising to users, demands/prices for ebooks /audiobooks are killing public library budgets. David Szalay's book, Flesh,” costs DCPL:
$28.99 hardcopy
$59.99 ebook
$69.99 audiobook
DCPL owns hardcopy; rents & must repurchase ebook & audio book every 2 yrs.

Libraries can't afford e-books. D.C. lawmakers have a plan.

Libby this is not how you help libraries or our communities are you kidding?! Stop trying to make it sound better than it is. Those lists already exist in there. Librarians already exist in their communities that can give better recs than anything this slop can. Ditch this crap. What a bad idea.

Officials in Tennessee aren't just banning books, they're now demanding information on who checked out contested (largely LGBTQ+) books, including names, addresses, and "household composition."
A librarian who was given the directive has come forward asking for whistleblower protections.

I’ve seen so many people spreading the misinformation that PBS is shut down or is shutting down.
The Corporation for Public Broadcasting has been shut down and PBS has been defunded.
HOWEVER!!! PBS still exists. It is more important now than ever that you donate to PBS if you can.
