How Bookshare Began

From a personal project to a school library ecosystem

Where the Love for Books Began

My passion for reading started early, back in my school days. I would gather discarded bits of wood and craft a small bookshelf—just so I could organize and easily return to the stories I loved most. What began as a simple love for books slowly evolved into a deeper calling as I stepped into university, sparking questions and dreams that would shape the journey ahead.
