The Forgotten Library

Minisode - The MacMillan Ebook Fracas


Listen Later

This is a special news bulletin. If you check out ebooks from your public library, you might wanna take a few minutes and listen to this mini-sode. MacMillan, one of the Big Five publishers, is changing the rules about their ebooks in libraries. Think the online queue is already long for the newest and popular? Yeah, it's gonna get worse. This is completely opposite of equitable access for all, which is the whole POINT of libraries, y'all. 

Here's what you can do (as talked about in the show):

  • Sign the petition at https://ebooksforall.org/
  • Email Macmillan directly at: [email protected] or Tweet them: @MacmillanUSA
  • Make sure your local library is letting patrons know about this.
  • Spread the word yourself (perhaps with a link to this episode)!
  • #ebooksforall
