Advocate for eBook Legislation! Support the Digital Library Protection Act!

HB 5236, also known as the Digital Library Protection Act, establishes fair contract term protections for libraries purchasing digital content.

Right now, publishers charge libraries nearly four times the consumer price for eBooks, and those licenses expire, so libraries don’t own the titles and they are forced to repurchase the same content year after year. This causes a growing financial burden and requires libraries to raise or reallocate funds from other needs to meet growing patron demand.

HB5236 gives libraries the ability to negotiate reasonable terms for eContent that protects them and their taxpayers while fairly compensating authors and publishers.

Visit the ILA website to learn more about this important legislation and advocate for it by submitting a witness slip! https://bit.ly/RSAeBooks
