A Note about Publishers Did you know that the Library can’t buy ebooks from many publishers? Sadly, unlike a regular person, a library cannot pay Amazon or Barnes & Noble for an ebook and then lend it out to people. We can buy a printed book from these companies, stick it on a shelf, and lend it out – but digital content is treated differently by the publishers and the companies who manage digital content licensing. We want to offer you these ebooks, but some companies won’t let us.
The following publishers currently refuse to sell or license ebooks to libraries: Macmillan Publishing Simon & Schuster Penguin Group Brilliance Audio Hachette Book Group
Think that’s wrong? We do too. We encourage concerned patrons to contact each publisher to register your opinion. For your convenience, the addresses are provided on the right. | Macmillan Publishing
