  ++ What is a collective library?
  
  It's the collection of all books belonging to you and to your friends which are available for lending. The catalog of such a library is the union of the catalog of your personal collection plus your friends personal collections. Therefore, the catalog is different for each user.
  
-There are other (personal library managers) available, and you can use the [[http://wanderingbooks.org ((Groo/WanderingBooks)).org]] site just to manage your personal library. But our idea is to enable groups of people to create collective libraries, which will be richer than the sum of their personal libraries because of the resulting interaction and socializing.

  ++ Logistics and socializing
  
  Because a collective library has no building, users will be motivated to arrange meetings to exchange books. These can be done at their workplaces, schools, cafes, pubs etc. The system will help arrange such meetings, reminding each user which to books to bring and collect. The need to personally meet other users is seen as a feature of the system, providing a good excuse for interacting with like-minded people.
