I’m excited about this too, and hopefully we’ll know more soon.

But does it mean that all those ebooks will be available to all MA library patrons, or will people get a lot of “sorry, you can’t access that book with your library card” messages when they search? I’m excited to hear more about how the pilot goes!

Will be wanting to hear details of your experiences. Thanks for sharing.
