• The AAP is suing over Maryland’s library ebook licensing law. 
• Sounds good to me – Pre-1923 audio recordings are entering the US public domain next month. 
• Many couples merge their household goods, but how many merge their libraries? 
• Publishers are slowly realizing that having lots of social media followers doesn’t necessarily lead to lots of book sales.

• Kobo just released a report on how Canadian ebook habits have changed since the pandemic started. 
• Few seem to realize this, but the rise of book vending machines in schools changes books from something everyone should have into something you only get with the approval of the authorities, and it worries me.  (No, I’m not crazy, but I will probably have to write a blog post to explain.)
