The project wanted to highlight the connection between books and technologies, involving students and teachers of all levels but also socio-cultural workers in the field of books, publishing, social reading.

The project tried to convert paper books in virtual objects to follow their movement with a sensor, collecting also some information provided by end-users with a participatory approach.

Two mobile applications Have been designed: Librare addressed to teachers, Librando for students to share comments and opinions related to books.

With FirstLife informal libraries were mapped enhancing a new role for books and reading, more social oriented and open to the city. Data was collected by Piemonte Region in Open Data format into the Smart Data Platform (SDP).
