Every time an author states that borrowing from a library "steals" sales from them, I want to scream.

Publishers have indoctrinated authors against libraries, to authors' own detriment. Libraries buy your book, and if it gets popular, they buy more copies--but more, they introduce readers to your work, and those readers will spread the word, even if they don't buy your books themselves.

are unpaid marketing. Be thankful.

I tend to read some fairly random non-fiction books (many from decades past), if it wasn't for libraries, second hand bookshops and even PDF scans I'd never have found a lot of these books (and even old books help market a publisher, for instance I learned a publisher of tech-related books I remember from as far back as 1980s is still going to this day, and it was reading their back catalogue that made me research this)
