       “Big Brother’s methods of control have been updated. … The new methods of sugar-coated digital control may show so effective they succeed in undermining critical thinking, autonomy, and self-determination. Not just in China.” — Hendricks & Vestergaard, Reality Lost: Markets of Attention, Misinformation and Manipulationhttps://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-030-00813-0

       One may RENT things from a business, butBORROWS things from library.Libraries, in general, ARE NOT businesses; they are cultural institutions. Please enforce this distinction by using the appropriate verb, because the more people think of them as businesses they more likely they are to become businesses — to the detriment of the community in which they are situated.Thank you for reading.
