Community Learning Map
Discover books. Help keep the map growing.
A community-powered map where anyone can find, add, and update local book-sharing boxes -- and help make the books inside easier for everyone to discover.
Launch Community Map ↗COMMUNITY POWERED
A map built by the community.
Many community book boxes hold valuable books, but their contents remain unknown until someone visits. Our AI-powered map makes these books visible, searchable, and easier to discover.
Anyone can contribute by adding a book box or photographing its contents. AI helps turn those photos into searchable book lists.
How It Works
From a shelf photo to a searchable book.
See how a simple shelf photo becomes part of a searchable community inventory.
02
Photograph the books inside
Photograph the shelves so the books inside can be added to or updated in the box's inventory.
03
AI recognizes the books
Book recognition identifies visible titles and adds or updates them in the box's inventory.
04
