I love discussing new books and subjects with my family/friends/team, and always look forward to any opportunity for that situation to present itself, but I believe that something or someone has to change our current position(s) to allow the situation to better present itself to each party. Then I started thinking of an offer/accept based tech system that might be able to help align many people’s interests. We’re not sure if the idea currently exists in this current form but we also like fun experiments.

My initial intention with creating "The Library" would be to create a new network to help create/maintain connections between people that might not have existed before. By creating it, I would start the process by purchasing a list of books that are interesting to me, and hopefully people that I know. Everyone has their own unique interest in books, and so as a collective group, I would hope to eventually have a very diverse range of book subjects. Creating and maintaining a large list of books will (hopefully) naturally help our organization grow into what we want for the future, and continually bring up the standards of learning for those involved.

Within the last few days of sharing this sheet with some of my past/current friends, we’ve had many more enjoyable interactions and conversations that might not have previously happened, without this. I hope that result would present itself for future relationships that don’t yet exist. That’s one of the reasons that I’m sharing our idea here today, to solicit any feedback, both negative+positive, with the hopes of building a new network that many people would eventually want to be a part of. I’m very thankful for this site to be around so maybe this could be a way for us to help in return.
