Having been in the public library biz for 30 years, I'm not in the least surprised that the publishers have shot themselves in both feet. Even in the pre-Internet era, there has been an uneasy relationship between publishers (and bookstores) and public libraries. I remember when the library I worked at first purchased videos, the publishers and local video stores thought it was the end of their world as they knew it. Duh - it wasn't. In fact, it has been consistently shown that heavily used public libraries have a positive economic impact on local bookstores in particular the locally-owned establishments that provide excellent customer service like public libraries.
