📖 Just about every day, somewhere in the world an Internet Archive staffer such as Eliza is digitizing a book. We scan about 3000 books a day. This year we digitized our 6 millionth book. You can borrow these books for free, from anywhere in the world. Won't you chip in to support our nonprofit library? https://archive.org/donate/?origin=fb-eoy2021 | Internet Archive
