Open Library

One web page for every book ever published. It's a lofty, but achievable, goal.

To build it, we need hundreds of millions of book records, a brand new database infrastructure for handling huge amounts of dynamic information, a wiki interface, multi-language support, and people who are willing to contribute their time, effort, and book data.

To date, we have gathered about 30 million records (20 million are available through the site now), and more are on the way. We have built the database infrastructure and the wiki interface, and you can search millions of book records, narrow results by facet, and search across the full text of 1 million scanned books.

Open Library is a project of the non-profit Internet Archive, and is funded in part by a grant from the California State Library. We have a small team of fantastic programmers who have accomplished a lot, but we can't do it alone! This is an Open project - the software is open, the data is open, the documentation is open, and the site is open.

Letter P.A.L.S. - FREE Online School-to-Home Reading Program

A child's ability to become a strong reader is the single greatest key to his/her future educational success. For 9 months of the year, teachers and parents work tirelessly to acquire and improve their students'/child's reading skills only to take a 3-month summer break before moving to the next grade level. During this time, many students are preoccupied with summertime play and often lack the discipline to continue to build or even maintain their acquired reading level through daily reading, often resulting in summer reading loss/setback.

Readers Are Winners, Inc. is a non-profit literacy organization with the mission of creating reading events, motivating elementary children to become strong readers, and rallying organizations on behalf of reading.
