About OneBook
At OneBook, we’re building a community where students can easily access the books they need, thanks to the generosity of donors like you. Here’s how it will work in our first release:
A Simple, Secure Process for Students
To keep things smooth and transparent, students can request books by submitting a valid student ID and a one-time bonafide certificate. This way, we ensure that the books are reaching those who truly need them. Each student can hold up to 6 books at a time. When they’re ready for a new one, they simply return a previous book to request another.
Easy and Flexible for Donors
Donating is simple—just send your books to our address. We’ll create an account for you, listing every book you’ve shared. When a book you donated matches a student’s request, they’ll be notified. You’ll also get an update when books are delivered or returned to our store, keeping you connected to the impact of your contribution.
Adding a Personal Touch
To make this experience even more meaningful, students and donors can send messages with each book exchange. Donors can share a few words of encouragement with their donated book (like, “Good luck, study hard, we’re cheering for you!”). Students can respond with a thank-you note, creating a memorable, personal connection with each exchange.
Book Requests Made Easy
Students will also be able to request specific books, and there will be a dedicated page where donors can see these requests. Donors can either select a book to fulfill a specific need or simply donate any books they have. All books—new or gently used—are valuable, and every donation helps.
Join Us in Building a Community of Learning
We’re just starting, but with your support, we can build a connected, caring space where knowledge flows freely and everyone can contribute to education. Thank you for being part of our journey!
We Value Your Ideas!
As we work on our first release, many of our processes will be handled manually. This includes creating donor accounts, listing donated books, verifying student details, and sending notifications. We’re also exploring ways to manage logistics effectively, though we’re new to this aspect and welcome insights from those with experience.
We’d love to hear your suggestions on how we can make OneBook smoother and more efficient for everyone. If you have ideas on automating processes, improving logistics, or any other thoughts to enhance our platform, please share them with us. Every idea counts in helping us grow!
