About
Open Library is a free, open-source library catalog that aims to create a web page for every book ever published. Users can read, borrow, and discover more than 3 million books at no cost. Like Wikipedia, anyone can contribute new information or corrections to the catalog.
Problem
There is no single, open, comprehensive catalog covering every book ever published that allows free reading and borrowing.
For
book lovers, readers, librarians, and open-source contributors
How it works
Anyone can browse, read, or borrow books for free, and contribute edits to the open catalog similarly to how Wikipedia works.
