👋 Hey, friends! Do you enjoy eBooks and eAudiobooks from your local library? If so, we need your help TODAY (3/23)!
We're working on advancing legislation that would make eBook licensing more fair and equitable. Currently, libraries pay significantly more for an eBook license than a member of the public. For example, I could go buy a copy of Kristin Hannah's eBook "The Women" for $14.99 and it's mine forever... But the library is charged $60 and they're only allowed to lend it 26 times, or for 2 years (Depending on the licensing terms) and then they need to purchase another license.
Of that licensing fee, the author is only getting 14%, where the vendor gets 30% and the publisher is getting 56%. These licensing terms impose significant financial burdens and access limitations on public libraries.
👉 Please take 30 seconds to fill out this form which will automatically email your representatives about this issue. The eBook bill is being heard as part of the Senate education omnibus bill TODAY at 12:30pm!
