Bksy: the app for sharing books

Reading is most fun if you can connect to the story without language barriers. With Bksy we want to make more books in different languages available to you!

Building a book collection together

Bksy is a free app for sharing your private book collection. A useful addition to the collection of the library!

As a library in an international area, we'd love to have many books in English, German, Spanish, Japanese, Mandarin, Malayam, Portuguese, etcetera. We try to set up these collections in a new way: by asking you to share your books via the app Bksy!

Do you like to contribute?
Your books stay your books. They even stay in your book cabinet. By adding them in Bksy, they will be visible to other users of Bksy. If they want to read your book, you'll get a request.

Users with books in your language
You can join one of our clubs to see users with books in the same language. Right now, we have a club with Spanish books and we look forward to start new clubs in other languges.
