November 4, 2026

We're excited to share that Social Law's Executive Director, Kyle K. Courtney is featured on a recent episode of the Future Knowledge podcast!

Libraries are increasingly facing restrictive eBook licensing terms that can make digital books more expensive, less durable, and harder to preserve than print. In this episode, “Will State Law Solve the Library eBook Crisis?” Kyle K. Courtney and Juliya Ziskina of the eBook Study Group, and Deborah Schander, State Librarian of Connecticut explore a growing state-by-state movement to establish fairer terms for library eBook contracts—and what these laws could mean for libraries, publishers, authors, and readers. 

Tune in to hear Kyle share his insights on the intersection of copyright, libraries, and the fight for equitable digital access.
