On Thursday 2026-03-26 at 10am PT, we plan to put @openlibrary in Read-Only mode for ~1 hour as we perform necessary database upgrades. At this time: login, reading log, and editing will be unavailable. One may borrow at Archive.org. Thanks for your patience!

The Open Library is experiencing a service interruption due to maintenance by our internet server provider. We are working closely with the provider and expect full service within a few hours. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

The Internet Archive's Ops Team is addressing a hardware issue with a network switch following an unplanned upstream power outage. Openlibrary.org will have intermittent access as equipment is cycled. Thank you for your patience.

The Wayback Machine, openlibrary.org, and some other archive.org functions are offline because some network gear has failed. We apologize and are working on it. More as it happens.

The entire @openlibrary team would like to express our deep sadness at the loss of our friend @gbnewby who, for years, has seeded @gutenberg_org with public good, open access values worth continuing to follow. Thank you for your beautiful contributions. You are missed.
