My idea is to create P2P bookstore for the local community with the purpose to safe resources and to help local books' owners get some extra profits.

I decided to choose steemit.com platform to present my idea instead of twitter, fb, google documents or any other social network as soon as popularity of blockchain technology is increasing during the last 2-3 years.

This idea is quite simple and very topical for many local communities in the world:

1. Many people are willing to sell their old stuff. Especially, books and newspapers.
2. Throwing old books is not a practical decision and not beneficial for the community.
3. It could be a great idea to create automatic app or a website that could appreciate books and their owner may exchange these books for money.
4. Also books’ owners could give unnecessary books to these centers for lending and people of local communities would be able to lend those books, by paying small amounts of money to their owners.

My idea involves two concealed resources:

1. Main resource here are people willing to bring prosperity to their community. They are willing to share some of their stuff with local community, so that its life would be more colorful, resourceful and that would increase the willingness to develop this community at all levels.
2. Second resource are books and old stuff. Quite often exchange students need study books or fiction literature when they come to the country for their studies or to better understand local culture, but there are not enough books in the university’s library, but only electronic copies of these books. In this case students have to spend money in order to have these books or to print them out, because sometimes that could be quite fatiguing to constantly recharge your cellphone, when you read an electronic book. On the other hand it is easier to read paper-based books for older people as well. That would save the resources of local community and would increase its prosperity.
