       “The US library system, once the best in the world, faces death by a thousand cuts,” writes @brewsterkahle founder of @internetarchive. “The traditional practice of libraries is to buy or acquire published materials, preserve and catalog them, and lend them widely and confidentially. (…) But now, in the digital age, every one of these functions has been denied to libraries, or recently even declared illegal in the United States.”https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/oct/09/us-library-system-attack-digital-licensing#Libraries #books @bookstodon
