This has been a godsend for us with a young reader that loves series books (Boxcar Children and the like) and our library closed for in person visits. There are literally hundreds of titles in some of these series, so she can pretty much always find one to read or re-read, even if most of them are checked out. I would dispute that this hurts sales—at least for us. The long hold times and 2-week checkout limit mean that I’ll often buy the ebook to complete it or read it without waiting in the queue.
