Concept

Books - in other words, knowledge or data, should belong to the society. When you finished reading a book, and if you don't need it anymore, you can pass it to someone who needs it.

However, people you can pass it to are limited. How many of your friends have the same taste of books as you have?

Books, bunch of paper, it should be recycled, but it's worth enough re-using by others, not to become a roll of tissue.

How it works?

It connects people online and offline. You can be totally offline, but also contact ex-owner online. You might be able to find someone with same taste of reading, the one could be a good friend of you.

What to do at #BarcampBKK3

  • Sort out your bookshelf and find some books you don't need anymore.
  • download this sticker and stick on your book.
  • Bring it to #BarcampBKK3 venue, and leave it.
  • If you find any interesting book, you can take it.
  • when you finish it, leave it somewhere for someone who needs it.

After #BarcampBKK3

We can do this anywhere anytime, not only #BarcampBKK3, but #BarcampBKK3 is a good chance to test, because most of barcampers are geeks, techies, there must be many techie books you guys don't need or gave up.

After #BarcampBKK3, we can continue this in the town. leave the books at cafe, bar, pub, restaurant or salon.

Everybody in the world know "BNE" but nobody knows who started it. If socialbookshelf.org become like that... kind of cool.
