📖 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

Our scanning centers are located in universities and libraries around the world, from Boston Public Library to the University of Toronto. Eliza is one of our fastest and most accurate scanners. Next she will execute quality control checks and
