I'm fiercely glad that they will have competition asap.

The libraries' annual budget is around $90 million. I really don't think that $75,000 is going to break the budget. And by "administrate," it appears that OD is dealing with the actual checking out of the books.
Of course the library shouldn't pay more than it has to...and maybe it can get away with paying less. But $75,000 doesn't strike me as outrageously high as part of a $90 million dollar budget.
