Look at sections 107 and 108, the fair use and Reproduction by Libraries and archives sections.

In addition there is the DMCA to be considered. Every 3 years, the US copyrights office considers adding exceptions to the restrictions provided by the DMCA.

It is at least theoretically possible for the US Copyright office to grant libraries an exemption both of copyright violation and bypassing the DRM via a DMCA exemption.

The US has long granted very broad exemptions to libraries, researchers and teachers.
