Our rules exist to keep Shelfly safe, honest, free, and educational for all students and parents.
If a book is listed as FREE, the donor must never ask for money or shipping fees later. If you want to sell books, Shelfly is not the correct platform. Violations of this rule will result in listings being removed.
Only educational materials are permitted. This includes textbooks, reference books, guides, study materials, and notebooks. Adult books, commercial promotions, and non-educational items are strictly prohibited.
To ensure convenient book exchanges and prevent excessive travel, Shelfly filters and displays books within a 15 km radius of your location. Please provide your accurate area or city during listing so that nearby students can discover and claim your books easily.
Maintain respectful, clean, and honest communication when coordinating handovers. Do not share unnecessary personal information like bank details, government IDs, or credentials.
Always arrange handovers in well-lit public spaces such as school libraries, colleges, community centers, or crowded public spots. Younger students should always be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
