Project Gutenberg<http://www.gutenberg.org/> has a large collection of free public domain e-books available.

Open Library<http://openlibrary.org/> is another source of free reading material, offering e-books and other texts to help with personal and professional growth. This site’s goal is to have a web page for every book ever published but not all of them are readable online. The readable ones have a read icon shown next to the title.



Google Books<http://books.google.com/> is another index of e-books, offering many free e-books for use. After opening the site search for a title you would like to read. When the search completes, you can select tools, then free Google e-books to see if they offer a free version of that title.



UTC library<https://www.utc.edu/library/services/borrow-and-return?group=2516> offers an incredible collection and staff have access to all they offer!



Personal and professional development is a great way to spend your extra time. Personal and professional growth is what keeps us going. Therefore, it’s what keeps us moving up the ladder of life!
