About Boighor
বইঘর (Boighor) means "book house" in Bengali. We're a free digital library built for readers in Bangladesh, because everyone deserves a library in their pocket.
"To put a library in every reader's hands: no cost, no barriers, no limits."
Why We Built This
Books should be for everyone. But in Bangladesh, many readers face the same hurdles: limited access to physical libraries, the cost of buying books, and the lack of digital options in Bengali. We wanted to change that.
Boighor works like your local library, but online. Limited copies, fair borrowing periods, first come first served. When you're done, you return the book so someone else can enjoy it. No fees. No apps to install. Just open your browser and read.
How It Works
Find a Book
Browse our collection of Bengali and English books. Search, filter, and discover.
Borrow It
Up to 3 books at a time, usually 7 to 10 days each. If it's taken, join the waitlist.
Read Online
Read in your browser on any device. No app needed. Your progress saves automatically.
Return When Done
Click return. The book goes back to the library. No late fees. Ever.

Built by Readers, for Readers
