"…the one certain thing is that #OverDrive, from its monopoly position, has begun the cycle of purposeful #enshittification: making their platform worse for both #libraries and their patrons with the sole aim of further enriching some of the most rapacious, amoral capitalists on the planet."

I had a conversation this afternoon with the director of my regional public library, about Libby. She said that tagging books as Notify Me is what tells her what to buy. Libby notifies her about the requests for books from users, and if any book has more than three requests, she orders it. So using Notify Me is important!!!

It’s really amazing to live near SF Public Library. Almost any book I can think of in all the languages I read in, they have it.
