I went to a party on Saturday and people were talking about the library switch to 3M. Apparently I'm not the only one who got a new library card with another city to go back to the Overdrive consortium! Their neighbor volunteers in the library bookstore. She didn't have any special insight to the switch other than lots of people have been complaining.
I have learned a lot about library funding through this process. I have to sort through loads of old books this winter, and I will consider donating some to the Friends of the Library store. I learned that my library participates in Amazon Smile so I will consider that when making purchases too.
I now have library cards from 3 cities which includes access to 2 Overdrive libraries, 3M Cloud Library and Axis 360 catalog. I also have an Oyster subscription. It will be a long time before I run out of books to read!
