Protects library access to electronic literary materials

This bill protects libraries in New York by banning specific restrictive clauses in contracts between publishers and libraries regarding electronic books and audiobooks. It ensures that libraries can freely lend digital materials to patrons, set their own loan periods, and use technology to secure these loans without interference from publishers. Additionally, the law prevents publishers from charging libraries higher prices than the general public and stops them from limiting how many times a library can loan a specific item. Contracts containing these prohibited restrictions are declared unenforceable, and publishers who violate the bill face potential fines and legal injunctions.
