>and diverting funds from public libraries?
The library is e-begging for donations because e-books cost up to 5X as much as print copies. And how many times they can be borrowed, and for long the library can have them, is limited.
They don't want your gently used books. I donated a nice hardcover book, they sold it for like a dollar. WTF? They want cash so they can buy titles they want to see on the shelves. They also wasted no time pulling all the "controversial" Doctor Suess books.
And they have a massive pride flag at the entrance. They also did the entire iNcLuSiVe bAtHrOOmS thing too. I like libraries, but diverting funding away from them makes sense.
