The IE University Library keeps fostering a love for reading and a sense of community through its two Bookcrossing points, located in both María de Molina Campus (Madrid) and the Segovia Library. This long-running initiative invites everyone at IE to take, read, and share books, creating vibrant spaces where stories travel freely and connect readers across campuses.

Bookcrossing is more than a simple book exchange — it’s a global movement that transforms the world into a library without borders. Every book that changes hands carries a piece of its reader’s journey, encouraging others to continue the cycle of curiosity and generosity.

At IE University, Bookcrossing is part of the Library’s contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 4 (Quality Education), Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). By giving books a second life, this initiative promotes access to knowledge, reduces waste, and strengthens the social fabric of our campuses.

Everyone is welcome to join — students, faculty, staff, and visitors alike. It’s simple: pick up a book that inspires you, read it, and bring another one to keep the exchange alive. From novels and travel guides to biographies and essays, the shelves in both libraries are filled with hidden gems waiting to be discovered.

Through Bookcrossing, the IEU Library reaffirms its commitment to Open Knowledge, Sustainability, and Community Engagement, proving that even small actions — like sharing a book — can make a meaningful impact.

So next time you visit either campus, stop by our Bookcrossing shelf, grab a story, and let it travel!
