      It’s a hosting site for free ebooks.

      The site admins don’t provide any of the ebooks themselves - they just host files that are uploaded by whoever wishes, and provide for downloads for whoever wishes. (Not that that alters its legal status - just by way of explanation).

      It’s notably popular among college students, as a source to download free versions of obscenely overpriced textbooks.

        Z-library was a massive pirate repository for ebooks.

        It still is. The site is still up and running, they even upgraded their system to have Telegram Bots for its users.

          It can be found here for anyone wondering: http://loginzlib2vrak5zzpcocc3ouizykn6k5qecgj2tzlnab5wcbqhembyd.onion/ and here: http://zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion/

          I don’t have a clearnet link since the mirror I’ve been using appears to have been seized, but the onion link should be the most reliable way to access the z-library.
