Steve Potash made... a number of misstatements in his 58 pages of testimony on D.C.'s ebook bill, including some about Library Futures. Our ED @littlewow.online corrects them, and @wordsandmoney.bsky.social has a write up.

Props to the Library of Congress for their ongoing preservation work. If you wanted to stream three of the films chosen for this year, you'd be out of luck (and you'd be shelling out a lot of streaming service dough for the rest). /1

Library ebooks are EXPENSIVE. For every record set, there's another library out there that has to cut down or even eliminate library ebook subscriptions. /2
