How BookSwap works
Find a book, agree on the details in chat, and hand it over in person. Here's each step.
How a handoff works
Decided before you say yes. Confirmed when it's in your hands.
01
Match
Someone near you has the book you want, or wants one of yours. You chat here, and your number stays private unless you choose to show it to buyers.
Wishlist alert · just now
Funny Boy is on a shelf near you
Ruwan J. listed it for lending, 8.4 km away in Mount Lavinia.
02
Agree
Pick a public meeting point. Where and when are agreed before either of you says yes.
Suggested meeting point
Colombo Public Library, front steps
Public, busy, and about halfway between you both.
03
Hand off
You both confirm the handover, and the book moves to its new shelf. Then you rate each other, including how the book matched its listing, and it counts toward your badges.
Condition check
Listed as Good. Does it match?
You rate the condition when you rate the handoff.
