## Description

**Book Share** is a Chrome extension designed to promote the sharing and circulation of books without the need to purchase new copies. Inspired by Henry Miller's philosophy about the enrichment that comes from passing books along, this app allows users to add books to share, request titles from others, or lend and donate books within their local community.

With GPS-enabled settings, users can find and exchange books within a specified radius, making it especially beneficial for students and avid readers looking to access reference materials affordably and sustainably. This extension encourages a community-driven book exchange that helps reduce waste and fosters connections through shared literary interests.
