Growing with school communities
One school, new stories.
Let the books your child has finished become a new story for another child at school. KitapBuurt helps families from the same school find each other and share children’s books.
Our first pilot with the OBS De Verrekijker school community has started!
Families at the school can buy, sell or give away second-hand children’s books on KitapBuurt.
