How BooksAroundUs works

Borrow from neighbours, lend what you have finished reading. Takes about three taps.

Borrowing a book

1

Find it and request

Browse the catalogue and tap Request Book. Already lent out? Join the waitlist and we will tell you when it is free.
2

Watch for the red dot

A red dot on My Dashboard means the owner said yes.
3

Chat, collect, confirm

Sort out the pickup over in-app chat or WhatsApp, then tap Confirm Collection. The book is yours for 7 days.

Lending your books

List in seconds

Approve requests

Open My Dashboard › My Lends to approve or decline whoever asks.

We remind the borrower when the due date lands. Once it is back on your shelf, tap Confirm Return.

Good to know

List 3 to borrow 1

Borrowing unlocks once you have three of your own books on the shelf. It keeps the library stocked for everyone.

7 days per loan

The clock starts when you confirm collection. Need longer? Just message the owner.

Waitlists, not dead ends

Join the queue on any borrowed book and you are alerted the moment it is returned.

Your flat stays private

Nobody sees your flat number or phone until you tap Share Flat No. or enable WhatsApp on that request.

A bigger shelf means better books. Invite your neighbours from My Profile.
