Is the feature gone, the one where I use my local library card to access an online book for 2 weeks if no one else has it currently?

From TFA: In the end, the fight led to more than 500,000 books being removed from the Archive’s “Open Library.”

Good chance the book you wanted is gone at the least

That sounds right. I checked on some listings of books that I thought would be cool to check out, but it still keeps saying how borrow in unavailable except for patrons with print disabilities. For the books I'm interested in, at least we can see scans of the front and back covers, and also a little bit of the table of contents.

I hope Anna's Archive kept a copy.

Most of the IA’s ebook collection still supports controlled digital lending, just like every other library that operates an ebook lending system with CDL.
