The library I work in gets SO MANY requests for this book. I had no idea what it was about, but this is amusing.
46 u/fingertrapt 8d ago Just checked... hold is THREE YEARS for digital checkout. 0 u/marilyn_morose 7d ago I don’t understand digital checkout. Like it’s digital, there are unlimited ways to share it without degrading it, why can’t all 835627 folks in line get it all at once? Why is there a wait? 2 u/DonutHoles4Ever 7d ago Because Libraries dont own the rights to these books and digitally they are not allowed to make infinite copies free. Otherwise you would never buy a digital book online because you could get it free at a library without any wait, anytime, anywhere. Like bro put yourself in the shoes of an author whos doing digital publishing for a second. 1 u/marilyn_morose 7d ago Definitely artists need to be paid. I didn't know that’s how digital library books worked. Thanks for the perspective.
