Beverly O’Connell & Tilly Wallace on BookSwipe: Building Real-Life Connection Through Book Swapping

Beverly O Connell and Tilly Wallace — co-founders of BookSwipe

In this inspiring interview, Beverly O’Connell and Tilly Wallace, co-founders of BookSwipe, join Xraised to share how they are reimagining the way people discover, swap, and connect through books. Designed as a “living library,” BookSwipe blends simple technology with real-world interaction to help people meet, share stories, and build community starting in workplaces, schools, universities, and local hubs.

Beverly and Tilly begin by explaining how BookSwipe works: users upload the books they own, swipe to match with others nearby, and meet in person to exchange books. The platform saves money, reduces waste, and most importantly creates meaningful offline connections in a world that feels increasingly digital and disconnected. They also highlight how BookSwipe supports universities and enterprises by creating safe, closed networks that foster wellbeing, literacy, and workplace culture.
