Why BookLoop exists
Almost every reader has a shelf of books they've finished and will never open again. And almost every reader has a list of books they'd love to read but can't always justify buying new. Very often those two shelves are only a few streets apart.
BookLoop brings them together. It's a simple, free marketplace where you can find second-hand books near you, chat with the person selling them, and pick them up the same day, without fees or middlemen.
Our mission
- Affordable reading. Making books affordable and available to everyone, whatever their budget.
- Less waste. Encouraging people to reuse books, to cut waste and reduce the environmental cost of printing new ones.
- Local communities. Building connections between book lovers in their own neighbourhoods.
What we believe
- Free means free. No listing fees and no commission. BookLoop is supported by ads, and we keep them out of the way of what you're doing.
- Privacy by default. Other people see your area, never your exact location. Chat stays in the app, so you never have to share your number.
- Simple beats clever. Listing a book should take a minute, and finding one should take less.
