Books4lending

Books4lending, a proprietorship company , started operations on December 1st , 2020. It is the parent company of Bookworld 2.0 lending library , one of the largest brick and mortar lending library which is having its operations in Mogappair, Chennai , India from 2007.

We, as avid readers ourselves, identified the following roadblocks for pursuing Reading for Knowledge as well as Joy:

Limited number of libraries with very limited collection of books

Reading is an expensive hobby. Affording all the books one wants to read is a COSTLY AFFAIR

Social Media taking up all the free time of humans, which affects their physical and mental health.

People are becoming Obese, Myopic , distracted and less knowledgeable due to their addiction to TV and Mobiles

In these busy times, even voracious readers are not able to take time out to visit a neighbourhood library to tend to their reading habits.

The idea was to solve the above, if the reader could not come to a library/bookstore, what if we took the library to them. We started speaking with several readoholics outside several bookshops, interviewing them and understanding their requirements and chalking out the solutions plan.

The above gave birth to Books4lending, a Door delivery services for Books. To start with, we are opening our operations in Chennai city from Nov, 15th, 2021

We boast of a huge inventory of 32,000 plus books in English and Tamil languages. Our collection of books is well distributed among the major categories which are further divided into sub-categories for easy access of members.

A few of our popular sub-categories are

Fiction

Romance

Mystery

Motivational

Spiritual

Religious

Business

Autobiography

Folk tales

English Grammar and many more
