Ugh! So #Libby is selling our data, not shocking after they were acquired... but there are alternatives that are below that public libraries can use! I personally recommend libraries use the Palace Project because of their #Accessibility focused design but links are below!

For the Libby #Enshittification background, read https://buttondown.email/ninelives/archive/the-coming-enshittification-of-public-libraries/

Part 2 https://buttondown.email/ninelives/archive/a-novel-a-wedding-and-some-heavy-petting/

For the targeted ad investigation, read https://www.theregister.com/2024/05/18/mystery_of_the_targeted_mobile_ads/

One of them is Library Simplified https://librarysimplified.org/get-started/

The Palace Project looks awesome and is fully accessible, screen reader wise! Librarians should check out https://thepalaceproject.org/platform/
