![Destiny Library Manager has begun working on a system to automatically notify parents when their kids check out a school library book... [more in self-text]](https://i.imgur.com/YOcHApg.png){kind=link}
Destiny? That's fucking dystopian.
The system is a dominant library management solutions provider and it's owned by a private equity firm...

What does acquisition of dominant library management solutions provider mean for K–12 libraries?
A school library system vendor has "begun working on" the ability to automatically notify parents when their kids check a book out of the school library and to allow parents to prevent kids their kids from checking out books on certain topics. This sucks.
Feel free to let @FollettLearning know what you think :)
If you are a Follett Destiny library, now would be a very good time to talk to them about your concerns about the option being built into the systems that you and your students use.
Don't forget Manifest Destiny.
