Read, create, correct, and help the library grow.
Langa Library is built not only from books, but also from the people who help describe, repair, design, verify, translate, test, and preserve them.
Community Covers
The first contribution program.
My Books
Personalize books with accepted community work.
Future-ready
Many small ways to help
First community call
Help give older books a new face
Many older books do not have a usable cover. Instead of copying uncertain cover artwork from the internet, Langa will invite contributors to create original community covers.
Accepted work will keep its contributor credit. The creator may use the cover in My Books and share a public contribution page.
Ways to contribute
Start with something manageable
Community covers begin first. Other contribution types are shown now so the page can grow without being redesigned around one temporary program.

Community roles
More than one way to support
Contributor
Creates or verifies work attached to books and library data.
Supporter
Helps programs, equipment, outreach, mentoring, or operations.
Reviewer and mentor
Reviews specialized work and helps newer contributors improve.
Participation and credit
The community must remain open enough to welcome beginners and structured enough that credit, certificates, and access have real meaning.
Verified contributions
Work is credited only after it has been reviewed and accepted.
Your work remains visible
Credit follows the cover, correction, list, or contribution wherever appropriate.
Personal and shared value
Use accepted work in My Books while also improving the shared library.
Student and early-career programs
Build real work, not a decorative certificate.
Future programs may connect verified contributions with public portfolios, mentoring, project milestones, and certificates that link back to completed work.
