As far as our Public Library - I really don't think they are using any library resources. We have a typical Overdrive set-up and there is a section in there of "Always Available" eBooks that are clearly the Gutenberg titles.

There's a note

Quote:
Looking for more EPUB titles? Consider one of these free public domain titles! Choose from over 15,000 titles that never expire and don’t count against your library checkout limit!
I don't think they are even stored on the same servers because if you click download you just go right to an ePub file download - not the usual log-in, check-out, then download the acsm file procedure.
