There's a bigger threat to books than bans.
“This is the model that Brick House, the writers’ cooperative I belong to, is working to create. We’ve asked hundreds of small publishers to join us in developing a safe passage, free of intermediaries, between authors, publishers, libraries, and readers. Lots of publishers and authors have signed on. And many more would love to—but they can’t, because they’re bound by contracts with those intermediaries that demand exclusive rights for distributing their books. Publishers caught in that trap can only provide libraries with e-books to license temporarily—books for rent, books that can expire, books that can be shut off.” The publishers are almost as much to blame for all this as the platforms. Ugh.
