This is a special news bulletin. If you check out ebooks from your public library, you might wanna take a few minutes and listen to this mini-sode. MacMillan, one of the Big Five publishers, is changing the rules about their ebooks in libraries. Think the online queue is already long for the newest and popular? Yeah, it's gonna get worse. This is completely opposite of equitable access for all, which is the whole POINT of libraries, y'all.&nbsp;
Here's what you can do (as talked about in the show):
<ul>
 <li>Sign the petition at <a href="https://ebooksforall.org/">https://ebooksforall.org/</a></li>
 <li>Email Macmillan directly at: <a href="mailto:press.inquiries@macmillan.com">press.inquiries@macmillan.com</a> or Tweet them: @MacmillanUSA</li>
 <li>Make sure your local library is letting patrons know about this.</li>
 <li>Spread the word yourself (perhaps with a link to this episode)!</li>
</ul>

Episodes usually run along one of the following themes: Back of the Stacks (public domain works of fiction or nonfiction), Ridic Fic (how was THIS published? No, seriously), Cavalcade of Comics (Golden Age comics from lesser known franchises, usually genre-based).
