Your library doesn't own these ebooks, they are just paying more money to a corporate vendor for you to access copies faster. Nothing is added to library shelves. We need #digitalownership not more false scarcity.

Sometimes I feel a little guilty that I don't buy as many books as I used to. Then I see something like this on my Libby account, realize that by being part of this system, I helped get my library to buy 67 copies of an e-book (plus an unknown but presumably substantial number of print copies).
