I really love open library and have volunteered with them a bit over the past few years. They have an exceptionally friendly community, there are weekly calls anyone can hop on who wants to work on an issue. Mek and company are very helpful and support people in starting all kinds of projects.

If you're at all interested in volunteering to do software work they are a great place to start. Plenty of frontend, backend, infra, and design problems that could use someone to take the lead and make it happen. :)



I use a combination of their monthly export, live API + google books API in my backend

Love + am grateful for openlib. The dumps are a game changer for me


Thank you Ray!

We have community calls ever Tuesday @ 9am PT and design calls 9am PT Friday!

We're currently talking about 2023 planning and everyone's feedback is welcome.
