In 2020, the eBiblio platform registered a total of 3,746,853 loans throughout the country. It should be noted that the figures are exceptional, given that after the outbreak of COVID-19 and the declaration of the state of emergency, all public libraries were forced to temporarily close.

The autonomous communities that registered the highest number of loans during 2020 were the community of Madrid (1,115,102), Catalonia (947,438), Andalusia (296,802), Castilla y León (247,851) and the region of Murcia (192,661).
