FYI - for clarity...
Public libraries are a public good.
I'm just finding no reason to be all worked up by publishers withholding their books from libraries during a time window after they are released. People who want to read a popular "new release" book from the library...have to wait anyway. All but the fortunate FEW who happen to get on the waiting list first. So really, we are only talking about a SMALL number of people impacted by a 2 month waiting period. Everyone else is already waiting anyway. That's the deal with libraries. Having to wait...and having to return.
