Honor Library

Honor Library turns the books you already own into a sharing circle with the people you trust.

No public marketplace. No strangers. Just your own circle, matched automatically from your contacts, passing along the books they love.

HOW IT WORKS
- Build your shelf in seconds. Scan a barcode, search by title, or paste a link from almost any bookstore. Choose which books you are happy to pass along.
- Your circle finds itself. Honor Library connects you with people already in your contacts who use the app. No friend requests, no hunting for strangers.
- Discover what is around you. A personalized feed shows the books your circle is ready to share, grouped into quick reads, long-form deep dives, and hidden gems.
- Request and hand off. Found something you want? Request it in one tap. The owner gets a message, you meet up, and the book finds its next reader in person.
- Keep a wishlist. Add the books you are hoping to read. When someone in your circle has one, you both know.

WHY HONOR LIBRARY
Books are meant to be passed on. Most of us have shelves full of titles we have already finished, while a friend nearby is looking for exactly that book. Honor Library closes that gap inside a circle you already trust, so sharing feels personal.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- Your shelf and activity are visible only to your circle, never to the public.
- We use the contacts on your device only to match you with friends who already use Honor Library.
- Sign in with your phone number. No passwords to remember.

Honor Library is a project of V2C Inc, a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
