This is the onboarding form for new volunteer contributors. As a volunteer with the Open Library, you get to work at your own pace and choose your own projects. You'll have access to mentors who can help you succeed, as well as a community of contributors & peers who are available to chat over slack or meet over zoom during our weekly Community Calls.

Next Steps: After you submit this questionnaire, we'll...
