Family 스파이더랩 비대면 도서공유서비스 '우리집은도서관' 운영

스파이더랩 (Spider Lab) is a Korean company whose stated mission is to create value through connection between people. Its first service is '우리집은도서관' ("My Home Is a Library"), positioned as a playground for readers and intended to become a large-scale book platform in South Korea, combining reading enjoyment with knowledge sharing.

The platform bundles four functions. Book rental offers door-step delivery and door-step return with a catalogue that includes bestsellers and new releases. Purchasing lets users order rentals, used books and new books together in a single order, which the company frames as simplifying ordering and saving on delivery costs. Book consignment allows users to place books they no longer read into the pool, generating income through repeated rentals and eventual used-book sale. Finally, users can produce their own book recommendation and curation content, receiving a cash payment of 3% of the payment amount when an order results from that content.

Business model

The service combines book rental, new and used book sales, and a consignment model in which individual owners supply books to the shared pool and earn from repeat rentals and used-book resale. Users creating curation content receive 3% of the payment amount on orders generated through their content.

Revenue is generated from book rentals and from sales of new and used books ordered through the platform, with consignors and content creators sharing in proceeds.

Traction

The company's site reports 160,000 participating book-sharing 'libraries', roughly 500,000 books consigned to the shared pool, 5 million cumulative paid book shares, and about 6,000 pieces of collectively created book content.
