When Macmillan Publishers, which is releasing "Blood," announced in July a new policy of limiting public libraries to purchasing a single copy of new e-books for the first eight weeks of publication, it upset librarians in North Jersey and across the country.

Dave Hanson, executive director of the Bergen County Cooperative Library System, called it a "pretty blatant" strategy to make readers pay. He said the Macmillan policy, which begins Nov. 1, not only will hurt patrons by limiting access to new books, but also will hurt the publisher.

About a third of adults read e-books, which are increasingly popular among library patrons. BCCLS has patrons from 77 members libraries in Bergen, Essex, Hudson and Passaic counties who can borrow e-books listed on the BCCLS website by simply downloading them to their digital reading devices.

A visit to the e-book section of the website shows titles such as "Becoming" by Michelle Obama, the top bestseller in 2018 by Crown Publishers, with 68 e-book copies and 272 people on the waiting list as of Thursday. Each copy of an e-book can be borrowed by just one patron at a time.

Under the Macmillan embargo, a single e-book will be offered to libraries during the first eight weeks of publication at $30, about half the usual cost. Additional copies will be available at full price after the eight-week window has closed.

"The publishers love that we buy their books in the book format and saying, 'Well, look what they are doing to the e-market,' " O'Keefe said. "So if you are going to squeeze us out of that market, you are really harming us."

"It seems that given a choice between a purchase of an e-book for $12.99 or a frictionless lend for free, the American e-book reader is starting to lean heavily toward free," Macmillan CEO John Sargent said in the July 25 memo.

Hanson said e-books readers are loyal to the format, but frustration could drive them to print or audiobooks, or to skip the book altogether. "This, of course, won't create the desired outcome for the publisher, which is increased sales of e-books," he said.

New Milford Public Library Director Terrie McColl said major publishers already make it hard for libraries to provide e-books to patrons by imposing various restrictions such as the number of times they can be borrowed in a year, and Macmillan is only adding to the problem.
