Donor challenge: Your generous donation will be matched 2-to-1 right now. Your $5 becomes $15!

Dear Open Library Supporter,

I ask you only once a year: please help Open Library today. Most readers can’t afford to give, but we hope you can. The average donation is $45. If everyone chips in $5, we can end this fundraiser today. Right now, a generous supporter will match your donation 2-to-1, so you can triple your impact. All we need is the price of a paperback book to sustain a library the whole world trusts. We’re dedicated to reader privacy so we never track you. We never accept ads. But we still need to pay for servers and staff. For 22 years, my dream has been to build the library of everything and make it available to everyone. I know we could charge money, but then we couldn’t achieve our mission: a free library for the whole internet. Our readers borrow seven ebooks per minute and download 2.5 million texts per day. Open Library is a bargain, but we need your help. If you find our site useful, chip in what you can today. Thank you.
