BBB connects directly on this platform:

This platform is a result of over 4 years of research and validation at libraries, initially across 15 countries, understanding their needs and concerns, resulting in the creation of this platform to provide the following value proposition:
a). Libraries will get Free Automation & Maintenance;
b). Librarians will be free of technology issues and be able to concentrate on their domain;
c). Readers will get to know the nearest location of the desired book/s;
d). Government & other stakeholders will know the exact status of any/all the books;
e). Publishers will be able to connect to readers for the first time in human history;
f). Author forums will make a big difference to the future plans of the Authors;
g). Review sharing will help buy the right book/s;
h). Book-lovers will be able to refer, review-share, discuss, exchange and connect as per book/s of their choice;
The stakeholders can connect through various activities like:
a). Review, Rate, Share, Discuss books;
b). Create events around the books;
c). Share, Exchange, Sell, Buy books (new or/and old);
d). Search/discover books across Libraries, Sellers and others on the platform, thus creating, nurturing deep, knowledge-based friendships that go beyond the simple hello to deeper and meaningful human relationships.
