Boost Retention and Productivity

Quiet reading breaks help employees reset mid-day — lowering stress, boosting focus, and building a workplace people actually want to stay in.

Tangible Wellness ROI

No new platform. No app fatigue. Just a proven, low-lift way to reduce burnout and absenteeism — and give your wellness budget a real return.

Easy to Implement

We handle everything: setup, book curation, shipping, and refresh cycles. You just pick a plan, and your breakroom becomes a library your team will love.

Fully Deductible

Book rental qualifies as a business expense, turning a meaningful wellness perk into a smart financial decision.

Cultural Differentiator

A shared shelf of real books creates something software can’t: calm, connected spaces where employees feel valued.

Customer

I have so many books I am interested in reading, it is so nice not having to leave my house to go search a public library or purchase each book individually, instead I pay for 1 subscription and have a queue of books ready to be shipped (in the order I choose) the second I finish the one I am reading. Highly recommend!

Jodi Koehn-Pike

Customer

I've been using BookLender for years and love it. Having books mailed to me, with no due date, and an easy way to return them is so convenient. There is a great selection and I like being able to keep a running list of books I want to read.

Carol Labarbera

Customer

Great service to enjoy reading a great range of paperback books.  I love the variety of books.  I often cannot find them at the library.  It's nice to receive them in my mailbox.

Karen Ritter

Customer

I love this company! I love to read, and it gets really expensive to keep buying books and then having to deal with them. It is so convenient to read your books, return them in the postage paid envelope, and get the next two on your list delivered to your home within a few days!

Linda Henning

Customer

I have been a member of BookLender for several years and really enjoy using this service.  I am an avid reader and like being able to read the wide variety of books available and the ability to track my reading history.  So easy to use and very convenient.

Jannet McCord

Customer

I have been a member of BookLender for many years. I have always appreciated the convenience of being able to "borrow" a book and not be constrained by a set return time. Life gets busy and there are many distractions that get in the way of reading. I also appreciate being able to try a book that seems interesting to me without having to buy it

J Felicelli

Customer

I have been a member for years - it's the Netflix for books! The website is fantastic - you don't have to constantly look for new books by your favorite authors and it automatically sends you the next books on your list. If you are old-school like I am and still like to hold a book - it is the best thing you will find!

Lydia Lewis

Customer

I have been using BookLender for many, many years. You get to build your own list of the books you want to read and they send them to you according to the plan you pick out. As someone who reads many, many books, it is like Christmas for me to receive them in the mail!
