Boekenbuur

Boekenbuur – a traveling book collection in your neighborhood

About this app

A traveling collection of books that you share with your neighborhood via this book exchange app.

With Boekenbuur, books from Hasselt Limburg Library travel through a Hasselt neighborhood, from resident to resident. Neighbors can exchange books, chat, and leave reviews with each other via the app. This way, residents get to know each other (better).

How does Boekenbuur work?

- You live in Hasselt, in the Runkst or Banneux neighborhoods
- You download the free Boekenbuur app and create your account
- You browse through the home libraries available in your neighborhood
- You are sure to find something to your liking there: novels in various genres, a mix of accessible books, classics, popular series, …
- You contact the book neighbor where your chosen book is currently located via the chat function
- You arrange to meet up and get to know each other that way too! - After you have read the book, you can write a review and give a rating.
- Then the book travels on to the next Book Neighbor!

What makes Boekenbuur unique?

- Boekenbuur is the first book exchange app offered by a city government to its residents.

- Boekenbuur complements the regular operations of the Hasselt Limburg Library and thus also reaches Hasselt residents who are not (yet) members of the library.
- Boekenbuur is a project that strengthens the neighborhood and promotes reading.

With Boekenbuur, you get to know your neighbors (better) through books!
