Field notes
The page describes nearby listings sorted by distance, with genre filters, saved favorites, and alerts when a wanted title appears. Lenders add a photo and condition note, then choose who borrows the book and where to meet. It also outlines ratings, suggested public pickup spots, and blocking or reporting users; the extract does not confirm whether the app itself is currently available.
