## **Reading is better together. Now your readers can share what they highlight and follow one another inside any book, turning your library into a living community.**

Great ideas spark conversation. With shared notes, one reader's insight can light up an entire classroom, book club, or study group, all without anyone leaving your platform.

## Why your readers will love it

- **Read together, anywhere:** Follow a classmate, a teacher, or a favourite voice and see their highlights right where they matter
- **Learning that sticks:** Studying becomes a shared effort, students compare notes, clubs trade perspectives, teams stay on the same page
- **Conversation built in:** Every shared highlight is an invitation to engage, discuss, and come back for more

💡 **What it means for you:** More time spent reading, stronger reader loyalty, and a library that grows more valuable the more people share in it.
