MyLibrarian

For homeschools and small public organizations, patrons typically use a computer kiosk to search for books and check them out, providing a centralized checkout experience. For private collections, readers use their mobile phones to scan barcodes and manage their book checkouts, offering more convenient and personal access to the library system.

You can add books in several ways: manually enter book details, scan ISBN barcodes using your device's camera, or upload a CSV file with multiple books. Our system automatically fetches book information from online databases to save you time.

Our AI system automatically analyzes book content, themes, and complexity to suggest appropriate age ranges. This helps librarians, parents, and educators quickly identify suitable books for different reading levels and age groups. Once age classification is added to your books, users can incorporate it into their semantic search queries, such as "find adventure books for 8-10 year olds" or "mystery novels appropriate for teens", making it easier to discover age-appropriate content.

Yes! The Bibliotheca Plus and Pro plans support multiple libraries. This is perfect for organizations with multiple locations, individuals managing separate collections (e.g., home library, classroom library, and office library), or professionals managing completely unrelated libraries such as consulting for different schools, churches, or community organizations. Each library is kept completely separate with its own books, readers, and settings.

Absolutely! MyLibrarian is designed with homeschooling families in mind. Track reading progress, manage curriculum resources, organize books by subject or reading level, and encourage reading habits with built-in progress tracking and rewards.

You can export all your library data (books, readers, checkout history) at any time. After cancellation, your data is retained for 30 days to allow for reactivation. After that period, data is permanently deleted for your privacy and security.

Yes! All plans include access to our knowledge base and community forums. Plus and Pro plans include email support, while Pro plans get priority support with faster response times. We also offer video tutorials and setup assistance.

Yes! Each library can have multiple administrators with full access to all library features. You can invite other users to help manage your library, whether it's a co-teacher, spouse, library volunteer, or organization staff member. All administrative actions are tracked in comprehensive audit logs, so you can see who performed what actions and when. This provides full accountability and transparency for team-managed libraries while maintaining security and control over your collection.
