minus-squareApathy Tree@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·2 years agoIt’s a shame these books aren’t ending up in those little free library things throughout the communities, and are being dumped at bookstores instead. I mean it’s great that they aren’t just being thrown away, but what was freely accessible information in classrooms is now behind a literal paywall. I know that’s the intent of the law, really, but it saddens me greatly.
