So for a really long time, i've considered the question of how to improve reading amongst Nigerians and, to be frank, I don't quite have an answer yet - most Nigerians seem to be pretty stubborn about reading! However, I came up with an idea that would at least grant those that want to read greater access to more books without exactly costing them an arm and a leg. So I came up with ULibe: A social library project.

The idea behind Uplibe is to provide a platform for Nigerians to lend, borrow, give out, exchange and review books all for free. The open platform means an increased number of books available. The library allows books in every genre and of every type - hard copy or digital copy (e-books) and all types of publications including journals, magazines, reference materials and picture books.

While the site is almost ready, it won't officially launch till the 1st of November but you can pre-register at [url]upbuzzed.com[/url] so you can get notified as soon as the site is ready. Please, if you have books you don't mind sharing or giving out, we would love you to be a part of this. So far, we are starting out with a hundred books already available and we'll soon put out a form for those who want to add more books to the library.

Let's do something about Nigerians' reading culture together.

Thanks!

Would donate 3000+ e-novels, also have some e-magz. Love reading books but with work I don't have the time. Send a PM and I would send a link to my online store.

It sounds like something. I'd be happy to be part of it.

Signed up and following. I've got a few to trade in.
