Book Passport

Where has this book been?

Inside every stray’s cover is a small sticker with a code. Look it up to see the book’s journey and the notes readers left in its margins.

Eight letters and numbers after SB. Dashes optional.

How passports work

A book with a travel diary

Rescued

The first stamp

When we buy a book at a library sale or estate sale, it gets a code and a stamp for the city it came from.

Read

A stamp per reader

Each time a member receives it, the passport records the city and their rating. Members can leave a short margin note.

Rehomed

Pass it on

Gift it, leave it in a Little Free Library or trade it back. Stamp the passport and see where it goes next.

Privacy: passports only ever show a city and state (or just the state, if a member prefers), never an address. Names appear as first name and initial, and every note is checked by a person before it’s shown.
