Discover & Share Books
Locally

The local book sharing app that expands little free library boxes into powerful exchange hubs with an improved selection of books.

Upgraded Selection

Browse and filter many more books than are able to physically fit in a little free library at any one time. Books on home shelves are scanned into the app and can be dropped at local drop boxes when requested.

Convenient Exchanges

No pressure or in-person meetups. Share and request books anonymously and at your convenience using existing local free library boxes.

Balanced Sharing

Reciprocal tokens keep books circulating and fresh. Earn tokens every time you drop off a requested book, then use those tokens to request what you want to read next.

Scan & Share Books by Barcode

Seamlessly scan books using your device's camera. You can use Epiloca directly from your browser or added to your home screen as an app. The app will provide the fastest, full-screen experience with on-device notifications and increased stability if you lose your internet connection when you're on the go.

See What Our Users Are Saying

Real feedback collected directly from user submissions inside the app.

“In our small town, getting over to our community little free library box is often a fair distance away. Being able to request a book and know its been dropped off before heading out has completely changed how our family shares books.”
— David C.
“Our area has four little free library boxes within a few city blocks, but checking them was always a gamble. Epiloca takes the guesswork out by letting me know what books can be requested and my proximity to where they will get dropped off.”
— Priya M.
“Scanning books with the camera is effortless. It bridges the gap between home bookshelves and local drop sites, turning our neighborhood into one connected, ever-growing community library.”
— Mikko T.
“As a Little Free Library steward, I used to worry about our box sitting stagnant with the same old titles. With Epiloca, neighborhood drops get coordinated stress-free and there's always an exciting rotation of fresh reads.”
— Elena R.
“I love that I can browse titles sitting on neighbors' shelves that they're ready to pass on. It unlocks way more books that wouldn't all fit in a physical drop box at once.”
— Thomas S.
“Epiloca enhances our local little free libraries and gives us so many more options when our public library is far away. Plus, not having to worry about opening hours, due dates or late fees for my kids is a huge relief.”
— Maya N.
“Instead of letting great books sit on my shelf gathering dust or donating them without knowing where they'll end up, Epiloca lets me pass them directly to neighbors who are excited to read them.”
— Leila H.
“I've discovered new favorite authors with local books I would not have discovered in my own reading patterns or social media. The whole token exchange model makes sharing fun and keeps everyone actively participating.”
— Jozef O.
“Finding a book my daughter wanted, requesting it, and picking it up at our corner drop box during an evening walk was so delightful. The barcode scanning is instant and super intuitive.”
— Gina B.

Epilogue + Locality = Epiloca Logo

An epilogue ties up the loose ends of a story, giving the reader closure. But reaching the epilogue shouldn't mean the book itself meets a dead end on your shelf. Your locality—your neighborhood—is where its journey continues. Epiloca helps pass on your finished books to avid readers in your community to start their own prologue.
