It has been funded in part by grants from the California State Library and the Kahle/Austin Foundation. Open Library provides online digital copies in multiple formats, created from images of many public domain, out-of-print, and in-print books.

There are 2 red flags with this service of an open library.
1. You need an account in order to view/read books.
2. You can only borrow/read them for a certain time frame: https://help.archive.org/help/borrowing-from-the-lending-library/
A trade-free library – especially a digital one – would make books available to download and/or read without any limitation. Thus this library might be rejected and not listed in the trade-free directory.
