I would prefer my local library to use my tax dollars wisely.
Subscribing to hundreds or thousands of ebook titles that are not borrowed would be wasteful. Having limited budgets my library had to sacrifice other purchases and services to be able to obtain ebooks which may be considered nonessential items.
So, when I saw a 67% usage on that particular day I was satisfied (and surprised) that it's money well spent.
