<p>You're welcome to share your books with us, regardless of where you got them from.
XPPL is a platform for potential pirate librarianship where knowledge comrades share information freely. The library gathers all the books and articles floating around on our shelves, hard drives, memory sticks and bathroom floors. It starts at XPUB, but it can go anywhere you want it to.</p>
