Lovely to explore books using @vanstriendaniel's Open Library Atlas demo: huggingface.co/spaces/davanst…
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!
@anitakirkovska Neat! Is there a reason you link to amazon books page rather than the book on OpenLibrary.org?
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.
We are experiencing service disruptions and are working to resolve the issue. Sorry for delays!
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.
What’s Trending on Open Library? The Open Library launched a new trending algorithm to help book lovers discover books trending right now. 📈 Read more: blog.openlibrary.org/2025/08/06/wha…
We are working on restoring access after an upstream power outage. Thank you for your patience! x.com/internetarchiv…
Archive.org is temporarily offline. We are working to restore access. Apologies for the disruption!
OpenLibrary.org may be temporarily offline today for the next ten minutes as we grow and resize our database servers. 🌱 You may still use Archive.org while you're waiting!
What would you be most excited for on OpenLibrary.org? 1. Community Tags (like Archive of Our Own) 2. The ability to nominate Best Books on any topic 3. Following other readers 4. On-the-fly book translations 5. Better collections 6. Other?
Next week we plan to release a quality of service upgrade to our /search.json API which should drop load size in some cases from 500kb to 15kb. This may result in a breaking change for some clients. Learn how to update your application here: blog.openlibrary.org/2025/01/16/api…
@kajong We'll investigate whether the pages may be available and simply need to be re-derived, or if a new edition may need to be obtained for digitization. Retrieving and re-digitizing individual books from the physical archive isn't the simplest process!
@kajong Hi @kajong thank you for reporting this issue and apologies for the delayed response. Is this the edition you're referencing? openlibrary.org/books/OL315899… I've forwarded to our quality assurance team to flag and review.
@KarismaPrestley Hi Karisma, are you still experiencing a challenge with your archive.org profile picture? The past few weeks our services have been in a limited availability mode while systems have been upgraded.
@BradAndrews Open Library is temporarily in limited-access mode as the organization continued security upgrades. We hope for another update on Monday. Thank you for your understanding.
@Bob1314Scott Open Library is temporarily in limited-access mode as the organization continued security upgrades. We hope for another update on Monday. Thank you for your understanding.
@luisehica Thank you, we're working diligently to get Open Library's services back up and will post updates soon.
We're so grateful, so thankful to have so many of you with us on this journey together: rain and shine. We'll be back as soon as we can, with your library shelves as you left them. Love, The @openlibrary community
There will always be setbacks, attacks, people who wish we could do a better job, people who may dislike libraries. What we can & will do is: listen, try to grow and improve, and offer the underserved materials they need, as best we can. That is our mission.
Look, libraries have 1⃣ job: invest their resources to serve the underserved public. When conditions are hardest, that's when it's *most* important to do our jobs well. We're not perfect, but we are working as hard as we can, with what we have, to restore services for everyone.
