Book collector wanting to share with others
Posted by Hayauthor · Salt Lake City, United States
I'm a book collector and have a small library of books that are more than I can read. I want to share them with others, but not sure how.

Why I’m posting this
I would love to get options on how to share the library with others, and making them accessible.

I’m an avid reader too :) what I do is keep the ones I really love and would reread, and swap the rest. You could check Book Swap Society or similar groups, they even let you start your own chapter if there isn’t one near you
Are you wanting to give the books away or let someone borrow them and then return when they’re done? If you’re wanting to give them away, what if you had a local free library outside your home?
What about creating a travelling collection? Pick 10 books around a theme, lend the whole box to a café, retirement home or community centre for a month, then rotate it somewhere else. You could include little cards explaining why you chose each book. It would give your collection a life outside your home without needing to manage lots of individual borrowers.
