"We used to keep our church library in a shared spreadsheet nobody trusted. Now every book has a home and every loan is tracked automatically."
Church Librarian
Volunteer-run congregation library
"Every kid in our co-op has their own borrowing history now. Scanning a book in takes seconds instead of typing out a card by hand."
Homeschool Parent
Homeschool co-op organizer
"Our classroom library used to be a shoebox of index cards. Now students find books themselves and I actually know what's checked out."

Who it's for
LibraryKeeper works the same way underneath — but every kind of library uses it a little differently.
Private collectors & owners
Finally know what's on your shelves
You've built a real collection — catalog it properly and know exactly who borrowed what, without a spreadsheet.
Homeschool families
Manage a growing home collection
One shared shelf, every kid's own borrowing history, and covers you don't have to photograph yourself.
Small community libraries
Professional software, none of the complexity
Everything a paid library system does — cataloging, lending, holds — without the enterprise price tag or training.
How it works
Three steps to an organised library
1
Scan your books
Scan an ISBN barcode or search by title — covers, authors and details fill in automatically.
2
Add your readers
Add the people who'll be borrowing — family, students or members — each with their own profile and history.
3
Lend with confidence
Check out, check in, and readers are automatically notified by email as their due date approaches.
Catalog & search
Add hundreds of books in hours, not days
Scan a barcode or search a title, and the cover, author and category fill in for you. No more typing out a card catalog by hand.
- ISBN scanning fills in title, author and cover automatically
- Semantic search finds "that book about..." even when you've forgotten the title
- Bulk-import a spreadsheet if you've already catalogued elsewhere
Book details
Every detail, right where you need it
Cover, ISBN, categories and age recommendation are all filled in for you — and stay one tap away whenever you need them.
- Cover, description, authors and categories filled in automatically
- AI age recommendation shown right alongside the book
- Full borrowing history and copy count at a glance
Lending & returns
Always know who has each book
Every checkout is logged automatically — who has it, when it's due, and whether it's overdue — so nothing quietly disappears off the shelf.
- See every active loan and its due date at a glance
- Automatic email reminders before a book goes overdue
- Full borrowing history against every reader's profile
Lending & returns
Lending that fits how you actually lend
Whether it's just you, a family, a friend, or a whole congregation borrowing — the flow that fits.
Quick lending
Hand someone a book without the app
Sometimes you just want to hand a book to someone and get on with your day — no account, no app, no kiosk for them to figure out. Search the reader, add the book, confirm — you do the whole checkout yourself in seconds.
- Find the reader by name or email — nothing for them to install
- Scan or search the book and add as many as needed
- Confirm and it's checked out — due date tracked automatically
School & family
Every kid gets their own profile
Set up a shared kiosk for the whole family, classroom or co-op. Everyone picks their own name and borrows on their own profile, all against one shared catalog.
- Quick-pick profiles for every child or student at the kiosk
- Each reader keeps their own borrowing history
- Works on any tablet — no extra hardware to buy
Friends
Let friends reserve before they visit
Share access to your catalog and let friends search what you own, see what's already out on loan, and reserve a book ahead of time — so it's ready when they stop by.
- Friends can search your whole catalog online
- See at a glance what's on loan versus available
- Reserve ahead of time — no back-and-forth texts
Church members
Self-checkout for the whole congregation
Put a kiosk by the church library shelves and let members borrow and return books themselves between services — no volunteer needs to staff the desk.
- One-tap self-service borrow and return
- Built for a rush of people between services
- Every checkout logged automatically — no manual tracking
✨ Powered by AI
Smarter, and safer, built in
Two things every plan gets automatically — no setup, no extra tagging. More AI-powered tools like recommendations and reading insights are on the way.
Search that understands what you mean
Semantic search reads meaning, not just keywords. Readers can search by topic, mood or vague description and still find the right book.
"a gentle bedtime story about being brave" → finds it, even with zero matching words in the title.
Built-in content safety
Every book is automatically age-classified by AI as it's added — no manual tagging. Parents and volunteers can see at a glance what's right for younger readers before it ever reaches their hands.
Especially valuable for classrooms, homeschool co-ops and church libraries serving kids across a wide age range.
Why switch
Pay for what you need — not who you are
A spreadsheet can list your books. It can't tell you who has them.
| Spreadsheet | LibraryKeeper |
|---|---|
| Type in every title and author by hand | Scan an ISBN — title, author and cover fill in |
| Ctrl+F and hope you spelled it right | Instant search, even by topic or mood |
| No record of who has what | Built-in checkout, returns and due dates |
| You remember to chase overdue books | Automatic due-date reminders by email |
| A separate file per room or campus | Multiple libraries under one account |
| No idea what's age-appropriate | Every book auto-classified by age, no tagging |
| Someone has to staff the desk | Self-service kiosk or check-out by phone |

FAQ
Questions people actually ask
No. If you can use a phone, you can use LibraryKeeper. Adding a book is a barcode scan or a title search — the rest fills in automatically.
Yes. This is exactly what homeschool co-ops, classrooms and church libraries use it for — every reader gets their own profile and borrowing history against one shared catalog.
Yes. You can add other people as administrators on your library, each with their own login — no more sharing one password at the front desk.
No special hardware — any tablet, phone or laptop with a browser works. Put it on a stand by the shelves, or let people check out from their own phone.
Every book is analyzed by AI as it's added and tagged with an age-appropriateness level automatically — no manual review needed. It's meant to help, not replace your own judgment as a parent or librarian.
You can install LibraryKeeper as an app on your phone or tablet for quick, one-tap access. It still needs a connection to check books in or out — but if you lose signal mid-session, you'll get a friendly offline page instead of a broken one.
Yes. The free tier has real limits on books/readers, but it's not a trial — there's no credit card and no expiry.
Yes, bulk import from a spreadsheet is included on every plan, and ISBN scanning fills in titles, authors and covers automatically as you add books one at a time.
Yes, for churches already using Planning Center to manage their congregation — it's included on our top plan.
