Wendy Palmer<p>I somehow erased the existence of July 31 from my mind: so on the one hand, disappointed to discover on this Monday morning which is not August 1 that I have to wait one more day until I get 6 more borrows from Hoopla, but also, at least that means I have one more day to browse the indie reads in the Smashwords July sale.</p><p><a href="https://www.smashwords.com/shelves/promos/1/any/any" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">smashwords.com/shelves/promos/</span><span class="invisible">1/any/any</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/hoopla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hoopla</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/smashwords" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smashwords</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/indieReads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indieReads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/amreading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amreading</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstodon</span></a></span></p>
Robert Dale Parker<p>Mississippi bans Hoopla and Overdrive for people under 18. Such a great way to sustain the distinguished educational history of Mississippi.</p><p>A ban like this will protect the poorer people of Mississippi (if there are any) from dangerous reading. But I fear that wealthier Mississippians under 18 might find a way around it.</p><p><a href="https://bookriot.com/hoopla-overdrive-libby-now-banned-for-those-under-18-in-mississippi/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">bookriot.com/hoopla-overdrive-</span><span class="invisible">libby-now-banned-for-those-under-18-in-mississippi/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Books</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Libraries" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Libraries</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BookBans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BookBans</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Hoopla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hoopla</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Overdrive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Overdrive</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reading</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a></p>
