Seven volunteers did either proofreading or scanning of the books over the last 4 years, and several other volunteers helped find copies of the books. Books that were found through interlibrary loans, for example, were scanned by the volunteers who were able to get them that way.

Hi all,

As of this afternoon all twenty of the children's/teens books written by S. P. Meek are available in the Bookshare collection. This was a collaborative effort by volunteers that took four years to complete. A huge thank you to everyone who helped in any way, from scanning a book to proofreading to requesting copies through libraries and interloan services, and scouting eBay, Amazon and other venues for copies of these out-of-print titles.

Bookshare is quite possibly the only library in the United States that has the complete collection of S. P. Meek children's/teens titles.
