some additional context for people unaware: During the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Open Library made a pretty big blunder. Since other libraries were mostly shut down and their books inaccessible, they decided, for some time, to allow unlimited simulteaneous borrows for each physical copy they held.

I remember at the time thinking it was a noble idea but a very stupid idea considering that somebody would object. Alas, here we are.

Here the ebook lending boomed when the libraries closed. The Librarians WFH issuing PINs for Borrowbox when people emailed their library card details.
