Comments/Suggestions

...many of your favorite authors
aren’t available in an eBook or
eAudiobook format your library?
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://

The Friends of the Northeast

behalf of the Library are deeply
appreciated.
