how does it work?

Create an account, then list the videos that you own.  You will then have access to the multitude of books and videos available in other people's collections.  You can search for specific authors or titles, browse individual collections, find nearby personal libraries, or find people who like books in common with yours. You will have access to reviews and have the opportunity to write your own.

If the owner of a book or video you're interested in has time for you to pick it up, you can check out items for a 2, 7, 14, or 30 day period (at the owner's discretion). Returning books late will get you negative feedback, while returning books promptly will get you positive feedback. You are never under any obligation to lend an item if you don't feel comfortable doing so.

won't my stuff get destroyed?

only lend to people you trust, or lend a low-value item first and see how they treat it.
