"Don't use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead" is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.
It's well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn't affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there's absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn't exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).
Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you're gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.
One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.
*Yes, this is a blog post, but it's a blog post filled with links to news articles. If you can click one link, you can click another.
If your library (struggles to obtain but ultimately) is granted funding for a service, and then that service isn't used, they aren't going to get that money in their next year's budget. If you don't use libraries, how can libraries defend their existence to an increasingly hostile (and book-banning) government?
Use libraries. With abandon!!! Use their resources with abandon!!!
And recognize that Libby is paid for by libraries. And authors are paid when Libby is used. And libraries are funded when their services are used.
Piracy steals from authors, steals from libraries, steals from you because you'll lose access to the library.
