Keep Access to Overdive and Libby
To: Dir. Ashcroft
From: A verified voter in Kansas City, MO

The decision by the Missouri Secretary of State to withdraw state funding for the digital library catalog MOODLE will severely restrict access to ebooks through services like OverDrive and Libby for countless Missourians. These online lending platforms provide an invaluable resource for readers across the state, offering convenient and equitable access to a vast collection of digital materials. Eliminating support for MOODLE represents a significant barrier to accessing knowledge and undermines the core mission of public libraries to serve all members of their communities. I urge you to take immediate action to restore funding for this essential service and ensure continued public access to ebooks and the literary enrichment they provide.
