when we started shell(f) a year ago, it was important to us not only to make the books we love, read, and discuss available to readers in Belgrade – we wanted to recreate the format of our home library. this format includes the ability to read several books at once, discover forgotten and never-opened books, be inspired by random quotes, guess the meaning of lines, and simply flip through the book spines

the shell(f) library is a living and ever-growing collection. some books disappear for a while, others appear in multiple copies or move from one shelf to another. it is not a Google search result list or a bookstore where you have to choose according to various parameters (with price being an important one), but a shared creative and intellectual space for all its users

and of course, we are happy when we manage to switch off our inner organizer for a while and, after browsing through the books, find a book for ourselves for the weekend to read something non-work related, or a text that inspires us to write our own. in those moments, it feels like everything went exactly as planned 🌷
