NEW YORK, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- BooksRun, a leading online bookselling platform, celebrates its 10th anniversary in the book business and extends an invitation to everyone to review its most notable achievements. Now a full-scale online book retailer that buys, sells, and rents used and new trade books and textbooks in the US and internationally, the company has passed a significant milestone in its journey.
BooksRun was founded in 2014. Consistent with their purpose of providing affordable textbooks and helping make education more accessible, in 2016 BooksRun released its free mobile scanner application for iOS and Android for booksellers.
In 2020, BooksRun added book marketplace services, proudly offering independent booksellers an opportunity to list and sell books through the platform. The same year, the company expanded to a B2B segment. For the past four years, BooksRun has successfully collaborated with schools, colleges, and libraries, helping them handle their inventory by suggesting solutions to remove or expand it.
Now, more than ever, BooksRun focuses on book reuse and wise resource management. With over a million titles in circulation, BooksRun's inventory currently includes all sorts of books shipped daily to the US and internationally.
BooksRun followed the principles of sustainability from day one. Over the past 10 years, the company participated in a range of initiatives to showcase where it stands. In 2019, BooksRun partnered with OneTreePlanted, an organization that helps increase the number of trees planted every day. As of this date, this partnership has resulted in 25,262 trees planted all over the world. BooksRun also partnered with charity organizations and supported them through book donations (e.g., Books for Africа, The Salvation Army, Goodwill, Books Through Bars, Books for Soldiers, etc., as well as local libraries, churches, and retirement homes).
BooksRun also helped students gain access to a more affordable education through its financial aid (a $1,000 scholarship to cover textbook costs in 2018). In 2024, BooksRun re-opened the scholarship admission to help more students.
"Reaching the ten-year mark is a significant milestone for us. We're extremely proud of our accomplishments, and we've learned a lot along the way. We're fully prepared to move forward," said Kiryl Zarubau, Founder and CEO of BooksRun, expressing enthusiasm for the new chapter: "BooksRun is committed to providing the best services and staying true to our values. Now, more than ever, we're ready to expand our operations to serve an even larger customer community."
