Hello everyone, I was wondering where to put this topic but after a while I decided that this would be the best place. I've met a group of people that have made this. (translation pending)

What this group does is donate their books, so that instead of catching dust in the shelves they get to be on other people's hands, to read, to scribble, to do what they want. Anyone can take or give books to this group, and the only thing you have to do is give the book to someone else when you finished it.

These guys have had this going for a few years, and they only have a local coverage, so I wanted to ask you guys, if anyone has heard of similar or related movements, I'd truly appreciate to hear from you.

If you have any other questions, please post them on the forum, I'd love to hear them.

Or you could give your books to your local library!

Sure I can magical cat Mist, but you'd just replace one shelf with another, one of the objectives behind this is to rotate the books as much as possible within the members, and if they've not gotten that much attention, the can go to the library. Besides, this encourages people to read, a largely neglected activity around here.
