Lending Libraries and Book Clubs

With literacy on the rise, the spread and dissemination of books has become an objective both for economical and, ideological reasons. Booksellers have become a much more common sight in many cities in general, and in large ones such as our nation there are entire shop streets lined with boxes of books for sale.\nFor those that could not afford to buy books themselves there are now an increasing number of ways to lend or co-finance book purchases, such as paid lending-libraries, book buying cooperatives, or subscription societies.
