A quotation from McCracken, Elizabeth
Library books were, I suddenly realized, promiscuous, ready to lie in the arms of anyone who asked. Not like bookstore books, which married their purchasers, or were brokered for marriages to others.
Elizabeth McCracken (b. 1966) American author
The Giant’s House [Peggy] (1997)

According to Gratz, most of the questions for IA focused on "how to think about the situation where a particular book is available" from the open library and also available as an ebook that a library can license. Judges said they did not know how to think about "a situation where the publishers just haven't come forward with any data showing that this has an impact," Gratz said.

https://tweesecake.social/@weirdwriter/112465274302648993 weirdwriter@tweesecake.social - Ugh! So #Libby is selling our data, not shocking after they were acquired... but there are alternatives that are below that public libraries can use! I personally recommend libraries use the Palace Project because of their #Accessibility focused design but links are below!

Itanhaém (SP) Brazilië 2010
Deze gemeentelijke bibliotheek in het Braziliaanse stadje Itanhaém aan de kust van de deelstaat São Paulo is vanzelfsprekend van een ander kaliber dan die van de voorgaande dagen op dit weblog. Maar wat goed dat er bibliotheken zijn!
De bibliotheek is genoemd naar de Braziliaanse dichter Paulo Bomfim (1926 – 2019) (portretfoto van Wikipedia).<br clear="all"></br>

In Bologna zag ik deze fraaie oude boeken. Heel anders dan een digitaal archief.

My private URL for Z-Library no longer works. These were an innovation Z-Library started a year or two ago. You sent an email message to them, and they sent you back custom URLs just for you.
However, I found http://zlib24th6ptyb4ibzn3tj2cndqafs6rhm4ed4gruxztaaco35lka.b32.i2p/ This works just fine, and will be harder to block, but I2P doesn't make connections as easily as the Clearnet, and not even as easily as Onionland. Also, a lot of you don't run I2P.
For now, https://singlelogin.re/ is also working.

During the Great Depression, the Pack Horse Library Project was a Works Progress Administration (WPA) program in which the librarians, who were often called "book women" or "book ladies," delivered books to remote parts of Appalachia.

Major book publishers continue their legal crusade against Internet Archive's scan-and-lend library, hoping to shut it down for good. IA's appeal previously received support from authors and copyright scholars. The publishers, however, have some heavyweight backers too. New amicus briefs are signed by former U.S. politicians, former judges, and legal scholars. Industry groups such as the MPA and RIAA also rally behind the publishers.
