About Us – LOCALBOOKS

    1. Who We Are

      LOCALBOOKS FOUNDATION is a registered Section 8 nonprofit organisation in India. Our mission is to make every book in your area visible and accessible — whether for sale, for rent, or free to share.

    2. The Problem We Address

      Millions of books sit unused on shelves while students and readers struggle to find affordable books. This gap weakens reading habits, limits learning, and turns useful books into waste.

    3. Our Solution

      LOCALBOOKS is a community-driven platform that:

      • ✅ Helps people find books nearby
      • ✅ Lets users sell, rent, or share books easily
      • ✅ Connects book lovers with local readers
      • ✅ Promotes sustainability by reusing books

      Whether you're a student looking for a textbook or someone clearing shelf space, LOCALBOOKS makes it simple to pass books to others who need them.

    4. Our Mission

      • 📚 Spread the love for books – Making books accessible and affordable for everyone.
