This document presents a business plan for a book swap and trade project among university students. The objectives are to create a bookstall to facilitate exchanges, reduce costs for students, and promote reuse. Students would bring books they want to swap and take books from the available selections. Funds from donated books would help students in need. Initially the project requires permission, volunteers, and a small budget for supplies and inventory. Surveys found student interest and a pricing model is proposed. The project aims to be sustainable while providing environmental and social benefits to the university community.
