## What is BookMingle?

Borrow books from neighbours. Lend books you love. Build your reading community.

BookMingle connects book lovers in the same neighbourhood so real books can travel between real people - no subscriptions, no digital screens, just the books you love, shared sustainably.

-> Browse books near you - Discover books available to borrow, lend or give away within miles of your home. Search by title, author or genre and connect with readers just around the corner.

-> Post your books in seconds - Got a book you've finished? List it to lend, give away or swap. Choose to share publicly with everyone nearby or privately within your own reading group.

-> Create and join Book Groups - Start a private reading circle with friends, family or your book club. Share a group library, chat about what you're reading, and manage members - all in one place. Discover public book clubs near you and join with one tap.

-> Never lose a book again - BookMingle's lending tracker shows every book you've loaned out, who has it, and exactly when it's due back. Send a one-tap reminder without the awkward text.

-> Chat with your reading circle - Every group has its own chat. Talk about what you're reading, share recommendations, and celebrate your next favourite read - together.

-> Read sustainably - Every borrowed book saves paper, ink and carbon. Our in-app carbon report shows the real environmental impact of your reading community.

-> Safe, verified community - Every user is verified. Built-in messaging keeps all communication in-app, so your personal details stay private.

Join thousands of book lovers already sharing their shelves.
