WHAT IT IS

A book corner we run for you.

The GMB Charity Shelf is a compact display of around 27 curated wellbeing books. We place it in your venue — clinic, pharmacy, waiting room or café — and look after everything: the books, the tablet checkout, restocking and reporting.

You give it a visible spot, a power point and venue Wi-Fi. We do the rest. There’s nothing to set up, nothing to manage day to day, and nothing to pay — just a tidy display that earns its keep and gives your customers something to browse.

SECURE & SIMPLE

Browse freely. Buy in seconds.

Every book carries a small removable clip, so venues can display with confidence. A customer scans and pays on their own iPhone or the shelf tablet — we capture their details — then takes the book to the counter, where staff simply slide the clip off. Safe for the venue, effortless for the reader.

ALWAYS AVAILABLE

Sold out? Still raising funds.

When a title sells out, we slot a "scan to buy" card into its place so customers can still order it online — and the cause still benefits. No gaps, no lost support.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What does it cost us?

Nothing. There's no fee to host a Charity Shelf. We supply the display, tablet and book stock, and they stay ours.

Where does the money go?

Every sale raises money for charity — the proceeds go to the causes featured on the shelf, and we reconcile and remit to them monthly. You don't handle any of it.

What do our staff have to do?

Very little. A customer pays on the tablet or their phone, shows the confirmation, and your staff remove the security tag and hand over the book. We train you in minutes.

How do customers pay?

Through GetMyBook.Store on the Smart Shelf tablet or their own phone — card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and other supported options. We handle payments and reconciliation.

What if a book is damaged or goes missing?

Normal wear is on us. We track stock and reconcile using checkout records and the code stickers your staff keep. You’re only liable for loss from negligence or misuse.

Do we own the books or equipment?

No — the display, tablet and stock stay ours throughout. There’s nothing for you to buy or insure beyond your normal premises cover.

How much space does it need?

Just a visible spot for a compact 3-row display (about 27 books), near a power point with venue Wi-Fi.

Is it exclusive? Can we still sell other things?

It’s not exclusive. You can keep selling and displaying whatever you like, as long as it doesn’t block the Smart Shelf.

Can we stop if it’s not working?

Yes. Either side can end it with 30 days' notice, and we collect the display and remaining stock.
