Book drifting originated in Europe in the 1960s, which means that book lovers put special labels on books they no longer read, and put them on public places, such as benches in parks, and provide them to people who come to pick them up for free. After reading it, the book picker will put the book in the public environment in the same way as the label prompts. The emergence of the Internet has accelerated the popularization of book drifting activities. In April of 200 1 year, in a small village near Kansas City, USA, Ron Hornbaker opened a book drifting network. Since then, book drifting activities have developed rapidly. Although less than four years, it has spread to Europe and America.

The way books drift is no longer limited to being placed outdoors. More and more imaginative book lovers set their own drifting rules in the drifting instructions when throwing books, which makes the drifting process of books more colorful. For example, a friend of a book club gave him a book on his birthday. After reading it, he had an idea that this book should be circulated in every book club that happens to have a birthday. This book will no longer be placed directly in public places, but will be delivered to book lovers who are about to celebrate their birthdays at the right time.

In order to let every book sender know the drifting information of a book, the person who gets the book needs to do his duty and search for the book with the unique identification number "drifting number" on the book drifting website.

Due to language differences and other problems, book drifting activities have little influence in Chinese. In order to let more people in China participate in this meaningful activity, we set up this website, aiming at strengthening the communication among book lovers in a wider scope and promoting the knowledge exchange among us in China. The emergence of the Internet has accelerated the popularization of book drifting activities. In April, 200 1 year, in a small village near Kansas city, Ron Hornbaker opened a book drifting website. Since then, book drifting activities have developed rapidly. Although less than four years, it has spread to Europe and America. At present, there are more than 465,438+00,000 registered members in the world, and more than 2.4 million books have been registered. Hornbeck, the founder of the website, proudly said: "The passion of the' Book Drifting' group always inspires my soul."
