»Belgisches Gericht ordnet Sperre der Open Library des Internet Archive an:
Ein Brüsseler Gericht hat eine sehr breite Anordnung für Websperren erlassen. Sie richtet sich gegen die Open Library sowie Schattenbibliotheken wie Z-Library«
Archiv ist, egal in welcher techn. Form, wichtig und hat nichts mit Datenklau zu tun. Dies wird leider aber vom Kommerz öfters als solches angesehen.

I'm lucky in libraries, because of where I live.
My local library "system": Pikes Peak Library District is made up of 14 library locations and 3 mobile libraries that serve 500,000 people living in 2,070 square miles of El Paso County, CO, USA.
But ONLY if you live in this county.
A neighboring county has BUPKIS.
Queens Public Library (New York, USA) $50/year. Accepts non-US residents.

The article points out that the rise on borrowing and visiting libraries in Denmark is an anomaly in Europe*, which is a pity. It also rightly identified that the number of events, reading groups and a good selection of books are key to get people into libraries. IMHO, the other important factor is the digital side. It's extremely easy to see what books are available and to order from libraries across the whole country on the bibliotek.dk website.
And once you're in the library to collect one thing, it's easy to pick up a few more...

Ruth_Mottram - Last year Danes borrowed 23.6 million paper books from public libraries, plus music, film, games digital loans, with 32.5 million in person library visits. It's increasing annually too.
I'm not surprised, Danish libraries are wonderful, everyone should have this.
