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?

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.
