It&#8217;s a perfect option for people doing research, reading something new before committing, or simply indulging in their hobby without spending too much money on books. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, being a bookworm is not cheap. It&#8217;s not because we can&#8217;t find affordable books but we sort of black out while buying new books. &#8220;Just one more book&#8221; turns into a huge TBR. But for the bookworms who want to read more for less, you can rent out books from this store in Lebanon and return them once you&#8217;re done.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DZuPRGriKb3\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We discovered <strong>Rent A Book<\/strong> at this year&#8217;s Beirut International Arab Book Fair. Manal, a fellow book lover, came up with the idea 8 years ago, and we can&#8217;t believe it took us this long to learn about it.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She came up with the idea when she was looking for places to rent out books. Once she realized that wasn&#8217;t an option, she decided to start Rent A Book to make reading more accessible to everyone. Manal believes that access to reading should be a basic right, not a privilege. We couldn&#8217;t agree more!<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DekQG_0O8zL\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <h3 id=\"h-how-does-it-work\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does it work?<\/h3>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rent A Book now has a collection of 200+ authentic books for you to choose from in English and Arabic. All you have to do is reach out via WhatsApp on +961 76 043 828 and let them know which books you&#8217;d like to rent. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A delivery driver will bring them straight to your doorstep, and you&#8217;ll pay a rental fee that&#8217;s lower than the books&#8217; original retail value. Depending on how many books you rent, you&#8217;ll have 1-2 months to enjoy your reads before the delivery driver comes back to collect them.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>   <iframe title=\"Embedded Instagram Post\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"532\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DdXT9HXoeoU\/embed\/\" scrolling=\"no\" style=\"background: white; max-width: 540px; width: calc(100% - 2px); border-radius: 3px; border: 1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219); box-shadow: none; display: block; margin: 12px 0px 12px !important; min-width: 326px; padding: 0px;\"><\/iframe>   <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Renting books also makes sense when your TBR pile is already threatening to take over your room. You can finally get around to the books you&#8217;ve been eyeing without adding to your shelves or wondering where you&#8217;re going to fit them all.
