For school & college librarians

A library system built for one librarian, dozens of readers

School libraries run on a small team and a big variety of stock — picture books, textbooks, class sets, the occasional ukulele. Librygo gives you fields that match what you actually catalog, checkouts that take seconds, and a portal students will actually use.

Checkouts that don't hold up the queue

Scan, renew, and check in from the same screen, with custom overdue reminders that go out automatically — no more paper slips or chasing return dates by hand. When you're covering the library alone at break time, speed matters.

  • One-click renewals & custom overdue emails
  • Self-service renewals via the portal, if you want them
  • Fines on your terms — or switched off entirely
Built for school libraries

Everything shaped around your shelves

Reading level & genre fields

Add the fields your school actually uses — reading age, genre, curriculum tags — without fighting a rigid record structure built for someone else's library.

Reading lists via Collections

Group titles into Collections for a book fair, a form's reading challenge, or a topic display — without duplicating records.

Roles for staff & student assistants

Give a student librarian access to circulation only, while teaching staff and the school librarian keep full access to fields, reports, and settings.

A portal in your school colors

Students search and browse in a portal with your logo, footer, and brand color — not a generic system that looks like every other library.

Equipment & AV loans, too

Chromebooks, cameras, instruments — put them in their own record type and circulate them exactly like books, with the same loan and hold rules or different ones.

Simple, published pricing

Starter is built for a single-site school collection, with one annual price on our pricing page — no district-level quote to chase.
