A letter from the Scribd CEO to our community — Scribd Blog

For the next month, we will be making Scribd’s library available to anyone,
free, for 30 days.

At Scribd, we believe reading is the most powerful tool we have for connecting and sharing the human experience.

Today, with millions of people around the globe staying close to home to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19, access to books and information is more important than ever before. Reading can offer incredible comfort: it reduces anxiety and makes us feel more accomplished and even happier. So, for the next month, we will be making Scribd’s library — which includes millions of ebooks, audiobooks, magazine articles, and more — available to anyone, free, for 30 days through this link. There is no credit card or commitment required. Our goal is simply to ensure everyone has access to their favorite books, authors, and quality content as we settle into our new normal for the next few weeks.
