Shelfhood — your neighborhood is a library.
Every shelf nearby is full of books waiting for their next reader. Shelfhood connects you with people around you who are sharing, swapping, and lending the books they love — so you can find your next great read without buying it new.
Open the map and see what's available right where you are. Tap a book, message the owner, and arrange a swap. It's that simple.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Browse a live map — discover books shared by people near you, pinned to real locations.
• Search smarter — find books by title, author, or genre with fast, fuzzy search.
• Add your own books in seconds — scan the barcode to grab the cover, title, and details automatically, or enter the ISBN by hand.
• Chat in real time — message book owners directly to ask questions and arrange a meetup.
• Build your shelves — organize your collection into Books, Children's Books, and a Wishlist of titles you're hoping to find.
• See who's sharing — explore other readers' profiles and the books they have on offer.
WHY SHELFHOOD
Reading is better when it's shared. Instead of letting finished books gather dust, give them a second life in your community — and discover stories you'd never have found on your own. It's good for your shelf, your wallet, and the planet.
Sign in quickly and securely with Apple or Google, and start exploring the books around you today.
