Brewster Kahle writes: “The US library system, once the model for the world, is under assault from politicians, right-wing activists, and corporate publishers. Book bans are at record levels, and libraries across the country are facing catastrophic budget cuts. In a separate line of attack, library collections are being squeezed by draconian licensing deals, and even sued to stop lending digitized books. This war on libraries directly contravenes the will of the majority in the United States. The profession of librarianship has become a hazardous one, because of the actions of a hostile minority. It’s time to reverse course.”
