Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

Welcome to the Bangalore e-Library. We're a group of people looking to start a Community e-Library for Bangalore readers.

Here is the list of books we currently have: /group/books...

As we don't have a community space, we are relying on Dunzo for now.


How to Borrow a Book

To borrow, find the name of the person who added it to the "available" shelf on Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ, and drop them a message. They'll let you know what to do next.


I have books that I'd like to add
If you're okay with the logistics of other readers dropping by to pick up books, here's what you do:

1. Make sure you have a goodreads account and are logged in
2. Join the Group: /group/show/...
3. Add the books you're willing to lend to the "available" bookshelf.

This is so cool
Yes, we think so too!

If you have any more questions, create a new topic on the goodreads forum!

The Fine Print

This experiment is based on a honor system for now. Please take good care of our books :)

Locations
If Dunzo serves your area, you're good. Otherwise, you may have to schedule a pickup.

FAQ

--reserved--

One thing, If a book is already added by someone, another person cannot add the same book.
Any way to keep that record?

Not right now. You can add a slightly different edition of the book in some cases as a fallback for now.

Came here from Reddit Bangalore. Excellent idea!

Just one query. If the book i receive is damaged already, any SoPs for what is to be done? Click a photo, perhaps?

You can ask insist Dunzo to take a photo per-delivery. That should work for most cases.

Hey!
Very cool idea, I'd love to be part of this.
Do you guys support ebooks though? I like to read on my kindle, and all of my recent additions have been ebooks. Would be great if that was an option.

Nothing for e-books. Hard to do right without DRM and I’d not go there yet.

Awesome idea. Been waiting for something like this.

Came here from reddit Bangalore sub.

Thank you guys for such a great initiative.
