Search our database of books by using the entry field below! When you locate a book you are searching for, you may be able to borrow it, buy it, swap for it,
trade for it, or just go pick it up near you. The access to each book in particular will be determined by it's current location, the specific
arrangement with the partner site it's listed with, and your current location and user status (how many books you've "greened"). When you find
a book, the icon and bubble will tell you from which site you can get the actual book (this technology will be integrated into the site soon, so
you will not have to go to the second site).
There are intrinsic environmental, economic and social interests in sharing books. When more than one person reads the same book, those
people save the earth's resources, they spend less money, create bonds with other people. We incourage you to list and geotag one or more books
in your home (think kayak.com for books) in
an effort to make more books green. Anyone who makes a book available for someone else and BALANCES IT OUT BY PLANTING A TREE, WILL BE ENTERED
INTO THE CURRENT

Not only can people have an online profile but books can
too! When there is this connection to books you've read, it may be easier to release them into the wild. Track where they go, as they evolve a
story of their own.
