That was interesting, I often think about how the author makes no money off me when I borrow from the library and then I feel bad. But public libraries are so important to communities it feels wrong not to support them. Plus I would have spent over $200 so far this year if I bought every book I think most authors very likely support local libraries because it gets/keeps people reading. But if you are going to use a library 1) Donate and support that library 2) Be vocal about the books you love and share your thoughts EVERYWHERE! Not everyone uses the library so those people may be buying the books, and then the people they tell, and so on. Also, the author makes SOME money for each book purchased by the library. The more you read from the library, the more the library will keep buying. The more people that find out about a book, they can order more copies. I often request a book and as I move up in the queue, it will say “since you borrowed this book, your library acquired x more copies”. 🙂 It’s not the same, I get it, but I still fully believe in supporting local libraries Also, like the other photos listed in that IG post - you can support the author in other ways
