Lily loved stories. She wanted a new one today. "Papa Bear," she asked, "can we find a new book?"

Papa Bear smiled. "Yes, Lily. I know a special place. It is like a very big, magical library. It has many, many books. All the books are free. You do not pay for them. This is Project Gutenberg. Everyone can read these books. Everyone can share these books too. These books are like gifts. They are gifts for everyone. We can find a new story now. We can find a happy story. We can find a fun story. It is a wonderful place for books. No one owns these books."

Lily clapped her hands. "Can I share a book?" she asked. Papa Bear nodded. "Yes, Lily, you can share. There are simple rules. We call them sharing rules. These rules help everyone. They help everyone enjoy the books. Everyone can be fair. It is good to follow these rules. They make sharing easy. They make sharing fun for all. These rules are very important. They keep the books safe. They keep the books free too."

"What is Project Gutenberg?" Lily asked. Papa Bear smiled. "It is a special name. It is like a special badge. This badge is for the free books. We must always use this name. We say 'Project Gutenberg'. This tells people about the free books. It is a very important name. It keeps the books known. It is a good name. It means many people helped. They helped make the books free. We honor their work. We use the special name."

Lily held up a book. "Can I share my favorite book?" she asked. Papa Bear smiled. "Yes, Lily, you can! But you must always tell. Tell your friends this. 'This book is from Project Gutenberg!' This is very important. It helps more people know. They can find free books too. It is a good thing to do. Always say the name. It helps the library grow. It helps everyone read more. It is a kind thing to do."

"A note?" Lily asked. Papa Bear nodded. "Yes, a little note. When you share a book. The note says, 'Thank you, Project Gutenberg!' It is like a thank you card. We thank the book helpers. They make the books free. It is a kind thing to do. We show our thanks. This is a good rule. It helps everyone remember. The books are a gift. We are thankful."

Lily saw books on a tablet. She saw books on a computer. "Papa Bear," she asked, "are they the same?" Papa Bear said, "Books can wear different clothes! One book can look many ways. It is good to keep simple clothes too. Just in case. Everyone can read simple books. This helps all computers. It is a good idea. We want all to read. We keep the first copy safe. It is the book's first dress. It is very useful."

Lily found a tiny typo. A word was wrong. "Look, Papa Bear!" she said. Papa Bear smiled. "Sometimes there are small mistakes. The book helpers try their very best. It is okay. No one is perfect. We still love the book. We can tell the helpers. They can fix it later. It is a small thing. The story is still good. We are still happy to read. We understand."

"What if a book is very broken?" Lily asked. Papa Bear looked serious. "If a book is very broken. We can tell the book helpers. They will try to fix it. Or they will give us a new one. They want us to be happy. They want us to read good books. It is their job. They are very kind. They care about books. They care about readers. They help us all."

"Who makes all these free books?" Lily asked. Papa Bear smiled. "Many kind people help. We call them book helpers. They work for free. They love books very much. They want everyone to read. Sometimes, grown-ups

Project Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you charge for an eBook, except by following the terms of the trademark license, including paying royalties for use of the Project Gutenberg trademark. If you do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the trademark license is very easy. You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and research.

Redistribution is subject to the trademark license, especially commercial redistribution.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
