Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Librar to manage school library collections, track patron checkouts, and conduct fast physical inventory audits. By snapping photos of your bookshelves with a smartphone, the system recognizes book spines and matches them against your catalog automatically. It provides a searchable public catalog for students, handles self-checkout stations, sends automated due-date reminders, and generates missing book reports. You can also scan barcodes, ISBNs, and RFID tags, receive data-backed recommendations for new book acquisitions, and connect library circulation data directly with your learning management systems.
