Families join a monthly membership that lets them swap pre-loved children’s books. Choose your Nest size, receive a curated bundle of books, enjoy them, and then send them back when you’re ready for new stories!

We curate books for every age and stage — from board books and picture books to early readers and chapter adventures. Each bundle is carefully chosen based on your child’s age range and reading level.

Not exactly — and that’s part of the fun! Each bundle is a surprise, hand-selected for your child’s age. But don’t worry — if your little one doesn’t click with a book, you can easily swap it out for another.

Donate gently-loved books → earn 1 Nest Egg each → redeem them for perks like keep-a-book rewards, extra swaps, surprise books, or even a tier upgrade.

You can keep favorites using Nest Eggs earned by donating gently-loved books to The Book Nest. Each donated book equals 1 credit, and credits can be redeemed toward keep-a-book perks and other fun rewards.

Once you’re ready for new stories, send back your current books in the prepaid packaging provided. We’ll ship out your next bundle right away — fresh adventures, incoming!

Most of our books are gently pre-loved, but every one is cleaned, inspected, and ready for a new home. If a book is too worn, we retire it and recycle it responsibly.

We’re starting in the U.S. and hope to expand as The Nest grows. Join the waitlist to be notified when we ship to your area!

Yes! You can pause or cancel your membership anytime — no hidden fees or long-term commitments.
