Books were made to be read.
They weren't written to be shoved in the back of a drawer, or boxed up in the attic, or left on a shelf collecting dust.
Ever finished a book and thought: this one deserves to stay in circulation, to keep moving, to keep telling its story?
Gift it to a reader who wants it, free, and see where it travels, from reader to reader.
Every book deserves another reader. Share the books you've finished. Discover the ones waiting near you. Together, we're building a circular library. One book at a time.
Coming to the App Store and Google Play. New, and starting in London.
A note from Steph
What if the next book you want to read could be sitting on a shelf near you?
Maybe it's with a neighbour. Maybe it's in your local charity shop. Maybe someone in your office, running club or local community has already finished reading it.
The book probably isn't far away. It's just invisible.
I realised this after finishing Becoming by Michelle Obama.
How it works
Put your shelf up.
Photograph a row of books, or scan one. Check what it found, and it's up.
See a book you want? Ask for it.
If it's a yes, you agree where to meet in the app. It's yours to keep, and it's free.
Finished it? Pass it on.
Gift it to the next reader who asks.
Watch where it goes.
When a book you gave is passed on inside NoBookEnds, you see it.
