Public library ebooks are becoming a thing of the past.

Libby is bleeding the libraries to death, sucking tax money straight to private equity. (KKR owns it).

For that cost, you get very little, beyond hockey-playing-vampire romance novels and other dumb bestsellers.

If your experience with Libby is still good:

1) You live in one of the few remaining cities in the US with a well-funded library

2) It won’t last. Libby is a parasite that’s indifferent to its host’s long-term survival 🧵
