The AZ Free Library

Welcome to our library. Each title is free to read, share, or to print and use as toilet paper (though expensive, with the cost of ink). Each title has been chosen because we believe it says something: about the world, culture, or ourselves.

Yes, we publish books. We want you to buy them. But sometimes, literature should be free. Just like expression, speech, thought, and imagination. This library is our gift to you. Click on the intro link to learn about the book, or if you are itching to begin, click on the title to start reading.

We understand good stories are hard to put down, but please do if you’re driving. Read responsibly.
We want you around for a long time.

We welcome submissions of written works and visual art for our Free Library. Whether you're a writer, an artist, or both, your work can reach a broader audience here. If you’d like to contribute, please send us your stories, essays, or artwork. We’ll showcase your creations with proper credit and, if you wish, include links to your website or contact info.

We especially encourage contributions from all backgrounds—including incarcerated artists—who often seek connection through letters and creative expression.
