How Wormsi works

One shelf is enough to begin.

The software is useful on day one. The network becomes valuable one trusted connection at a time.

    Begin at home

    Know what is on your shelf.

    Scan a barcode, add the room and shelf, and turn an overlooked pile into a library you can actually use.

    Catalog / locate / remember
  2. 02

    Open the catalog

    Let trusted readers find a book.

    Share only what you choose. Family, friends, classrooms, and neighbors can search the shelves you open to them.

    Private by default / shared by choice

    Keep stories moving

    Lend locally. Grow a reading life.

    Track who has what, talk about the books, and build the kind of local reading network children can grow up inside.

The larger mission

Reading should be a lifelong right, not a luxury.

Wormsi begins as a personal library and grows toward local lending, Book Angel sponsorships, literacy programs, and welcoming places where children belong in the world of ideas.

Made for real shelves

Who keeps the books moving?

People and institutions already doing the quiet work of putting stories into someone's hands.

Home libraries

For the books stacked by the bed, packed in boxes, and waiting to be read again.

Families

For shared reading routines, growing collections, and the stories children remember.

Schools + partners

For classroom shelves, literacy programs, food banks, and community support.

Neighborhoods

For lending networks built on consent, trust, and books that stay in circulation.

Open your first shelf

Start with the books already around you.

No credit card. No collection too small. No need to wait for the bigger mission to begin.
