How do libraries tend to operate outside of the US? (literature.cafe)

I know Canadian libraries operate similarly, but I mean more so like in Europe. Are they as big there as they are here? And do they require fees to join, or are paid via taxes like here as well?

I have never heard of banning books in public libraries in France. I don't think a single French library has Mein Kampf or the like though, except for the Bibliothèque Nationale de France which has one version of every book that's published by a French house.
