Library Rant

As a library member whose taxes help fund it, I find it galling that in this digital age, I have to put a book that I’m interested in on hold for weeks (sometimes months). All digital media that the library boasts (claims they have on their digital ‘shelves’) should be available to any member without having to put said material on ‘hold’.

They always claim that they don’t have enough licenses. If they don’t, then they should remedy that situation, as interest and demand pick up for whatever titles the members desire… with NO HOLDS necessary… And if they can’t do that through their current sources, then they need to find new/better sources. I don’t care what they claim as excuses; there IS NO EXCUSE !
