My Bookcase Trial

My Bookcase is a new social enterprise dedicated to the understanding, appreciation and dissemination of books. Inspired by research into the library model, Cristina Garriga started making plans for a new inno- vative platform through which people can catalogue and share the contents of their own book- shelves and arrange to meet and borrow books from others in their area.

We’re delighted that My Bookcase has invited tenants of The Whisky Bond and member of Glasgow Sculpture Studios to participate in the first offline trial of their new service which will run for six weeks in the cafe on the ground floor. Participators will select five books from their private collections to include in the trial and these will be added to The My Bookcase @ The Whisky Bond catalogue. Lenders will be able to browse an online catalogue and arrange to meet others in the building to borrow books.

We’re really excited to see how the trial goes and the new connections that are made within the building.
