Hi Kellie, I'm not Stacey but they give you a temporary password right away. You can download books from the public domain but not copyrighted books. They urge you to change that first password you are given to one of your own choosing. I remember this from signing up myself.

Or did you decide to sign up as a volunteer first? Kellie
