I’m pretty sure that program was costing them more money to run than it was making, thus why they cut back on it. Anybody who bothered to sign up was a pretty heavy borrower of e-books, and those are expensive on the library’s side.
I live in NYS. so my state income taxes fund the Brooklyn Library. Even after you get a library card, you have to recertify which is bullshit. This is not SNAP. I qualify to borrow ebooks without being shamed for not living in the boroughs.
I wonder if they will reconsider their decision to let non New Yorkers use the Brooklyn Library now? I was paying $50 a year and it was a bargain.
