The Service

DachaBooks is a physical book lending library. We mail Russian-language children's books to subscribers in the United States. You borrow books, read them with your family, and return them when you're ready for new ones.

Subscription

  • The Family Plan costs $50/month, billed monthly through Stripe.
  • You may hold up to 5 books at a time and make up to 2 swaps per month.

  • All outstanding books must be returned when your subscription ends.

Shipping

  • We ship via USPS Media Mail within the United States only.
  • Shipping costs are included in your subscription — no extra fees.
  • You are responsible for providing an accurate shipping address.

Book Care

  • Books are lent, not sold. They remain the property of DachaBooks.
  • Please handle books with reasonable care. Normal wear from reading is expected and fine.
  • If a book is lost or damaged beyond usability, we may charge a replacement fee (typically $15-30 depending on the book).

Your Account
