Inspiration
Despite growing online markets for discounted books, the average cost of textbooks and novels has risen four times faster than the rate of inflation over the past 10 years. That has caused 65 percent of people to skip buying required texts or novels of their interest at some point in their life because of a lack of affordability. This app allows a person to lend and borrow books.
What it does
An interactive app which allows the user to lend and borrow books. A person can add his/her book to the app that he/she wants to lend and also can borrow from others. This will help the user to save money.

[as a gift from our side] -Borrowed books will be circulated within city of user`s residence. -The person who borrows the book has to pay the delivery charges.
