Three ways to take part -- donate, claim, or help keep the map honest.
Find or add the book
Search the catalog, scan its ISBN, or scan the cover with your camera -- title, author, and cover fill in automatically.
Describe its condition honestly
No staff inspects it -- your own description is what a claimant sees before they pick it up.
Choose a shelf and drop it off
Pick any participating shelf near you, or hand it directly to partner staff. Credit lands the moment you confirm the drop-off.
Save it as a draft, any time
Search our catalog, scan the cover, or scan the ISBN -- from /me/drafts, before you're even near a shelf. Add as many books as you're planning to share.
Turn on location so we can help
Once you're near a participating shelf, Looply detects it automatically from your signed-in home feed and offers to drop off right there.
Confirm in one tap
No re-describing the book -- drafting it once means dropping it off later is just a quick confirm.
Browse what's available
Search by title/author or filter by category -- every listing shows which shelf it's currently sitting on.
Claim it
Claiming is free and earns you credit too. It's reserved for you for a few days so someone else doesn't take it first.
Pick it up and confirm
Once you've collected it, confirm whether its condition matched what the contributor described -- that's the whole accountability check, no staff involved.
Stand at the shelf
Open its page while you're physically there -- Looply checks your location matches before letting you check in.
Confirm what you see
A quick, no-fuss report of what's actually sitting on the shelf right now, useful when listings drift from reality.
Earn a small credit
A modest thank-you for keeping the map accurate, capped so it can't be farmed by checking in repeatedly.
