A Bookworm Origin Story: Become an Avid Reader with Free Books

Description

Books are a valuable source of knowledge, but they can also be expensive and inaccessible for many people. How can we find books to read for free without breaking any laws or our personal savings? This course will teach you how to find books to read for free (or at a low cost), without going to sketchy websites. You will learn about various sources of free books, such as public libraries, online bookstores, reputable websites, apps, and more. All of this will be done legally and safely. Throughout this course, you will learn the steps involved in borrowing, streaming, and downloading books. Additionally, you will find out how to evaluate the quality of the books you find and how to manage your to-be-read list. By the end of this course, you will have a list of books to read for free and a toolkit of skills to find more books in the future.
