Public domain would be fine, if we had the original copyright term instead of "life of the author plus seventy years."
Libby is an interesting option, though I'm curious how many kids in disadvantaged countries would actually have access to it.
Regarding Libgen, I'm not convinced it makes the case for modern copyright to say it's fine, because people can just violate copyright.
