Let them know they have competition for the library dollar and the patron's attention.
My mistake.

I doubt the libraries will split indie books off, since it seems to make little sense to pay for ebooks that they hide away. I don't know how many libraries will buy indie books in the first place, but time will tell.

Overall I think it's a good thing for libraries, indie authors, and readers.
