Friedbeef's Tech recently posted what it felt were the "Best Places To Get Free Books"
While I was happy that they included our Bookyards Library in their list, there are a few libraries that they should have been mentioned.
Here is my partial list:
Alex Catalogue Of Electronic Texts: A general collection of books
Athena: Thousands of etexts from the Renaissance and Classical Periods
Avalon Project: Documents In Law, History, And Politics
Bibliomania: Collection of over 2000 etexts
Christian Classics Ethereal Library: Christian literature
Diesel Ebooks: Ebooks formatted for Microsoft Reader
Digital Book Index: It has books that other sites do not have, some books unfortunately can only be viewed if purchased.
Electronic Text Center: From the University Of Virginia
Eserver: A large collection that is nicely categorized.
Famous Poets And Poems: A database of over 22,000 poems
Free Books: The voice over has a mechanical/computer voiceover effect that I do not like. But the collection is large and free.
Free Science Info: A great selection of science books covering a variety of fields.
Great Books And Classics: A listing of books published by time period.
Internet Classics Archive: The classics
Internet Sacred Text Archive: A library collection of sacred texts, religion, mythology, and folklore.
Knowledge Rush: An online library since 1999
Perseus: Ebooks through the ages
For a complete listing of online libraries, go to Bookyards Library Page, or, Wikipedia's List of Digital Library Projects.
For future posts I will be taking specific fields of interest, and listing the top online libraries for that particular specialty.

Hi
I found your blog by looking for free books to see what connected with the theme of my blog, http://freebooksplus.net/blog/.
There are loads of ways of getting legal free books including audio books over the radio and I’ll be looking at them regularly. I also offer advice on the best free ways to process the book whether print or audio and I’d love to have comments to help me see what readers value most. Let’s all contribute to more legal free books
Great list! Here's another one for you: http://www.planetearthforfree.com/free-ebooks.html
