E-book Availability at Your Library

The L.E. Phillips Memorial Public Library is proud to be one of 67.2 percent of libraries in the U.S. that make a wide variety of e-books available to its customers.

While libraries are experiencing an increasing demand for e-books, unfortunately many publishers have opted to make library access to e-books more difficult, even impossible. Macmillan Publishing, Simon and Schuster, Hachette Book Group and Brilliance Audio currently refuse to sell e-books to libraries. HarperCollins has imposed a limit of 26 loans per e-book, Random House recently increased its e-book prices by 100-200%, and Penguin now refuses to let libraries lend its new titles altogether.

As always, your public library continues to uphold free speech and the pursuit of unfettered access to information. The library community continues to advocate for fair pricing and access to e-books and is strongly pursuing open dialogue with both publishers and lawmakers.
