Book Shelves

Book Shelves is a live map of street bookshelves, community libraries, and book swaps near you — and a personal catalog for your books. Take a book, leave a book. Free, works offline, and is available in Hebrew, English, and Russian.

📍 Live Map of Free Books
See street bookshelves, community libraries, bookstores, and temporary book stacks near you. Get directions, see photos, and check if a shelf is full or empty before you leave.

🙏 Request a Shelf Where There Isn’t One
Mark on the map where a street library is missing in your neighborhood and collect votes — the more people want one, the more likely it is to be built.

✅ Keep the map up to date
Standing by a shelf? Let the community know if it’s full or empty and add a photo. Scan the shelf’s QR code for instant check-in.

📚 Catalog your library
Scan a barcode or ISBN — or take a photo of the cover and we'll identify the title and author. Search by title, author, notes, or location. Keep track of what you're reading. Works completely offline; no account required.

🔄 Share, trade, and donate
Offer any book to the community: gift, trade, or sell. Leave it in a cupboard or let people write to you — openly or anonymously.
