CommonShelf

Share Books, Build Community

Connect with readers in your neighborhood. Borrow books you love, share books you've finished, and discover new stories together.

How CommonShelf Works

1. Browse & Request

Explore a diverse collection of books shared by your neighbors. Find a title you like and send a borrowing request.

2. Connect & Exchange

Once your request is accepted, coordinate a friendly, local pickup. Meet fellow book lovers in your community.

3. Read & Return

Enjoy your new read! When you're done, simply return the book so another neighbor can discover it.

Book exchange - community members sharing books
“Every book has a story, and so does every reader. CommonShelf is where those stories meet, creating new friendships and strengthening the fabric of our neighborhoods, one shared book at a time.”
