Donor challenge: A generous supporter will match your donation 3 to 1 right now. Triple your impact!

Dear Open Library Supporter,

We ask you only once a year: please help Open Library today. You may not know it, but we’re an independent, non-profit website that the entire world depends on. We protect reader privacy, so we never sell ads that track you. Most readers can’t afford to donate, but we hope you can. If everyone chips in $25, we can keep this going for free. For the price of a book, we can share that book online forever. When I started this, people called me crazy. Collect web pages? Why? Who’d want to read a book on a screen? I founded this as a nonprofit so together we could build a special place to read, learn and explore. We lend three e-books per minute and answer a thousand of your questions per month. Open Library is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, chip in what you can today. Thank you.
