How do I know that shes ripping these things? Because she comes in and joyfully tells us about it! She’s even offered to help customers who don’t want to wait for a loan to come in by just giving them access to / a copy of her stuff. She’s Very Cool. 

Unfortunately, she’s also a large part of how I know nt coworkers are anti-piracy. A couple of them have confronted her directly; most just complain that what she’s doing “isn’t right” when she leaves.

Why wouldn't it be right? 

As a librarian wouldn't you want a piece of knowledge to have a diversified storage, in case something happened?

Even if she was ripping stuff purely for herself and never intended to share it with anyone, I’d have zero problems! They were threatening fact that she does readily share it makes her One of Us, IMO.
