Ink and Bone by Rachel Caine

The Library of Alexandria never burned -- and now it's the near-future, but society has been controlled & shaped in strange ways by its control. Our hero, born into a book-stealing family, applies to become a Librarian ... and heads to Alexandria to study.
Harry Potter meets The Book Thief via Fahrenheit 451 -- and just as good as all of those!
Mostly this is a great YA romp with dark academia vibes, grey motivations, and a lot of shade thrown on ereaders that connect to a central source, licencing rather than owning the text, and can therefore have books edited/withdrawn at any time.
