Are Your Favorite eBooks Missing From the Library Collection?

Unfortunately, several publishing companies have taken a strict stance on making their authors' works available to libraries.

Libraries want to make eBooks available to all customers. However, in some instances, such as the titles below, we are not licensed to loan the item or the cost prohibits our ability to purchase multiple copies.
