Booklovers dream

Its a relatively new app - started in LA, but really great for discovering new books and book clubs, swapping books, cleaning your shelf, and low key way to meet other readers

FAQ

How does NeighborBook's book sharing work?

You list books you're willing to share, then browse books from neighbors. When you find a book you want, you can request it. Trades are facilitated through a credit system where lending earns credits and borrowing spends them. Meetings are arranged in public places.

Is NeighborBook free to use?

Yes, NeighborBook is completely free to download and use. There are no monetary transactions within the app, and it does not feature advertisements or in-app purchases.

What is the credit system in NeighborBook?

The credit system ensures fair exchanges. You start with three credits, earn one by lending a book, and spend one to borrow a book. This encourages a cycle of sharing within the community.

How does NeighborBook ensure user safety?

All users undergo an identity check via a selfie through their partner Persona before they can message or request books. Names and faces remain hidden until verification, and your address is never shared.

Can I find or create book clubs with NeighborBook?

Absolutely. NeighborBook allows you to find existing local book clubs or create your own. You can browse clubs by meeting day or genre, making it easy to connect with like-minded readers.

What happens if a book owner wants their book back?

Loans typically run for about three months, and the owner can request the book back. You can also extend the loan or gift the book. Returns are based on goodwill, similar to lending to a friend.

What devices does NeighborBook support?

NeighborBook is available on iPhone and iPad devices, as indicated by its supported devices list.

How often is NeighborBook updated?

The app was last updated on August 5, 2026, with version 2.0.0. This suggests a relatively active development cycle for new features and improvements.
