Got an idea regarding book banning

[Aviation Pro]

Establish a free, national electronic library with every book, tome, codicil, what have you that has an ISBN number attached to it accessible to the public. Then make it universally available to every single person in the U.S. and the world. Maintenance and administration would be the responsibility of the Library of Congress and once established will be put in a lockbox and none of the elected branches would have any say over what is in the electronic center of knowledge.

Then watch Guv. Man Bewbs' (MAGAT-FL) head explode. Also, I know Amazon and Google would whine, but tough shitski, buttercups.

2. Free online libraries

https://openlibrary.org/

Welcome to Open Library | Open Library
Open Library is an open, editable library catalog, building towards a web page for every book ever published. Read, borrow, and discover more than 3M books for free.

Also heard in the news nyc public library system has recently opened to all across the country but haven’t verified:

How to Access the Library's Digital Resources 24/7
Apply for a Library Card Online. New York residents can apply for a library card online and gain access to an array of digital resources—including e-books, audiobooks, databases, and more. Plus, patrons can visit an NYPL location and upgrade their card status to borrow physical materials.

3. The Open Library is a cool idea

But I envision a resource that doesn't lock a book out because it's 'borrowed'.
