That first lowercase "library" formed a garden path that reminds me: How (nearly) nominatively deterministic of Elbakyan! In a way your comment makes sense there too, when considering Sci-Hub's purported use of donated credentials.

Hope the next Alexandria library is named Elbakyan library. She surely deserves. And this time I hope it doesn't catch fire. Fortunately bits are not as flammable as paper. But on the other side they are higher maintenance to last thousands of years.
The library of Alexandria famously copied every book that that entered the port of Alexandria. Libraries 'buying not copying' is a modern mode of operation, but not intrinsic to the premise of libraries.
