Your reading list is already on a classmate's shelf.
School Book Share helps middle school, high school and college students find classmates who have the books their teachers assign, and pass along the ones they're done with. Fewer books to buy, more people reading.
No spam. Just one email when we launch.
How it works
List your books
Add the books you already own and are happy to lend or pass on.
Find your reading list
Search for the books your teacher assigned and see which classmates have them.
Share and swap
Connect with the classmate, borrow the book, and hand it back (or pass it forward) when you're done.
For librarians & schools
Bring School Book Share to your school
We're looking for a few founding partner schools. Librarians and teachers help shape how it works, and it's free for schools.
- ✓Safe by designSwaps stay inside your school community and hand-offs happen at the library or front office, not with strangers.
- $Free for schoolsNo budget request, no contract. Families spend less on assigned books.
- 📚Built around your reading listsShare your class and summer reading lists, and students see who already has each book.
- ♻Books keep circulatingLast year's copies go to this year's readers instead of sitting on a shelf at home.
Become a founding school
Leave your details and we'll reach out to set up a short call.
Made for students at every level
From the summer reading list to the college syllabus, someone in your class probably already has the book.
