About Seferehov

Seferehov (Hebrew for “street books”). A shared map of free street libraries — book boxes, little free libraries, shelves in lobbies and parks — and the books on their shelves right now.

Who runs the shelves?

The book shelves on the map are open to everyone, as always. Seferehov is a free app for book lovers. It only shows where public book shelves are — on the street, in a park or in a building lobby — and which books are on them. I do not run the shelves and I add no rules to them.

No strings attached

Take a book without leaving one. Leave a book without taking one. No need to bring it back — it is yours. And you never have to report anything. Reporting just helps the next reader know what is here.

Who is behind Seferehov?

Seferehov is a free public project by Ami Heines, a software developer. There are no ads* and nothing to pay* — just a map that helps books find readers.

Have an idea, a question, or something that does not work? I would like to hear it. Write to me — Ami, the developer of Seferehov: ami@seferehov.com

Street libraries around the world

* For now. If that ever changes, I will keep it small and gentle, and keep as much as I can free for as long as I can. Please don't be mad at me 🙂
