Project Gutenberg is an organization that digitizes and distributes eBooks that are out of copyright and are free of charge as a result.
A small number of Project Gutenberg books are available to all library users through OverDrive's Libby app. To find these titles, click or tap on the magnifying glass icon, enter the words "Project Gutenberg" in the search box, and click or tap on SEARCH. Here is a link to the list of Project Gutenberg titles available in Winnipeg Public Library's OverDrive collection.
This collection is not the full collection of Project Gutenberg books - there are many more! To find more Project Gutenberg books, we suggest searching the main Project Gutenberg website (or the mobile version).
Note: The Libby app is not able to load titles downloaded directly from the Project Gutenberg site. As an alternative, we recommend using the Cantook app. Visit our Cantook Libraries guide for information and instructions on setting up a Cantook Libraries account.
Overdrive no longer works or is available. So in 2024, how do I get Libby to download books from Project Gutenberg???
What would really simplify this is the ability to add Project Gutenberg as a library in Libby. That's how I did it with Overdrive. Every few months I come back to find a solution but find nothing of any value.
