  • Every librarian I know is asked regularly how libraries are going to survive now that "everything's online"
  • paperbacks or audiobooks shut us down. Both of those formats increased the appetite and audience for books, just as ebooks are doing now.
  • have to adapt to readers' changing preferences and habits
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Without having books embedded in our physical environment, it would be so much harder to help readers connect with new books and authors.
  • If no one cared about books and reading anymore, then that's the time to worry.
  • Libraries are both cultural institutions and businesses, in the best sense of both words. They buy a lot of books. They buy a lot of really wonderful books. And they help bang the drum for those books in their communities. That has tremendous value for us and for the readers we both share and value.
  • Finally, what do you wish librarians understood better about publishing? We're passionate believers in the future of libraries and their vital role in communities. We want them to thrive. That means we have to find new ways of having more dialog about what our shared future can look like. We have a long history together--much has changed, and much will continue to change.
  • A HarperCollins ebook will remain on a library's e-bookshelf until the maximum number of circulations is reached, and for many books 26 circulations could last several years.
