The answer might surprise you. The policies of the major publishers concerning selling eBooks to libraries are all different. Libraries have to deal with policies like: • Publishers who refuse to sell eBooks and/or eAudiobooks to libraries; • Publishers who charge libraries as much as 5 times more than consumers for the same digital content; • Publishers who embargo their content and will not sell to libraries any newly published digital content; • Publishers who make digital content available in only some formats (ePub but not Kindle for example). For years libraries have worked hand in hand with publishers. That relationship has now changed drastically and we find ourselves unable to deliver the digital content our library patrons want. If you would like to let your favorite author and their publisher know that you want to be able to continue to read favorite authors and discover new authors at the library, please visit http:// savemynjlibrary.org/notenough ebooks The Friends of the Northeast Branch will receive the 2012 Library Service Award on June 5 at the NJ Library Association Honors and Awards Ceremony in recognition of their dedication and outstanding fundraising efforts in support of their Library. The Friends were essential to the Branch relocation last year, and their commitment and efforts on behalf of the Library are deeply appreciated.
