A community built around books
Read more.
Own less.
Share knowledge.
A book should never stop being useful after one person finishes reading it. ShareBooks brings people together to give books new lives and make knowledge accessible to more people.

Knowledge belongs to everyone.
Read. Share. Repeat.
Why ShareBooks?
Books should be read, not forgotten on shelves.
Many people have books they no longer read, while others cannot easily afford new ones. We believe these two realities can be connected.
ShareBooks is being built as a free, community-powered library where books can travel between readers, creating opportunities to discover new stories, ideas and knowledge.
Discover something new
A collection waiting to grow.
Our community library is getting ready to open.
Every book has another story to tell.
A book can create new opportunities when it reaches another reader.

A simple idea. A shared future.
We're building the system step by step. Some parts are already available, while others will open as our physical library network develops.

Our current stage
We're building the foundation.
ShareBooks is opening its online community first. Members can create accounts and register books they intend to contribute. We are currently working towards establishing physical branches and a volunteer network.
Until official collection locations are announced, please keep your books with you. Registering a book online does not mean it has been physically received or accepted into the library.
