Today we are forced to share some sad news - yesterday many of our domains were seized again. We should highlight that the majority of the seized domains were not mirrors of the Z-Library website. Instead, they were separate sub-projects, containing only books in rare languages of the world, and their blocking is perplexing. For instance, these domains included books in Tamil, Mongolian, Catalan, Urdu, Pashto, and other languages:

afrikaans-books.org

bengali-books.org

urdu-books.org

marathi-books.org

chamorro-books.org

Over the 15 years of the project's existence, we've managed to collect an impressive collection of rare texts in many uncommon languages. These domains featured many unique texts that can't be found anywhere else, including rare books, documents, and manuscripts. All of this is a priceless heritage, contributing to the preservation and study of world cultures, and serving as important material for researchers in linguistics, anthropology, and history.

Z-Library also states in the blog post that they did not lose the files, just the domains.

Wouldn't it be possible to move the entire library into the dark web and leave just a few snorkels behind?

Or move it to a model similar to zeronet?

I believe it is already on Tor. But not everyone knows how to use tor, so they also have traditional domains.

They also have an I2P address. More secure than Tor, because alot of the end nodes are controlled by government and private institutions.

Oh, this is a great reason to use I2P!

I really wish torrenting would move to I2P too!

The one i found just redirects to clearweb. Do you have any other than this address? http://zlib24th6ptyb4ibzn3tj2cndqafs6rhm4ed4gruxztaaco35lka.b32.i2p/
