It’s a shame but maybe they’ll reassess down the line - definitely an ‘interesting’ time for libraries trying to balance digital vs paper demand...and the costs! My home library only had Hoopla for music but that seems gone now. They do have audiobooks via RBdigital but I don’t read those so don’t know how good that service is. Did just discover I can get Acorn TV via RBdigital, which was a pleasant surprise though I don’t watch a lot of TV.
