How to add Project Gutenberg titles to your digital collection

Permissions required: Create/view carts, Purchase

Project Gutenberg titles are available through a free Simultaneous Use plan. The plan never expires and offers the top 1,000 (or more, depending on your country) titles from Project Gutenberg.

To add individual titles or the full plan to your collection:

  1. Sign into OverDrive Marketplace.
  2. In the Shop drop-down, select Simultaneous Use.
  3. Under "Ebook," select Project Gutenberg.
  4. Choose titles to add to your cart, or check Select all results to add all of the titles.
  5. Purchase the cart.
    Note: You'll receive an invoice for your purchase, but you won't be charged.

Project Gutenberg titles work just like other titles in your digital collection. They count toward user checkout limits and are automatically returned at the end of the lending period. These titles are available in the OverDrive Read and Open EPUB formats, so they're compatible with Libby and Sora.

If you have any questions about Project Gutenberg, contact your Account Manager (whose contact information is listed under the Marketplace Support tab).
