Now Live — US District Integration

LibraryAid Now Supports
Clever Single Sign-On

Most US school districts require Clever SSO before approving any EdTech tool. LibraryAid now supports Clever — meaning teachers and students log in with one click, rosters sync automatically, and district IT teams can approve LibraryAid for school-wide deployment.

What Is Clever and Why Does It Matter?

Clever is the leading single sign-on platform used by over 75,000 schools across the United States. It allows students and teachers to access all their approved EdTech tools with one set of credentials — no separate usernames or passwords per app.

For school district IT departments, Clever integration is not a nice-to-have — it is typically a requirement. Without it, a product cannot be approved for district-wide deployment regardless of how good the product is. A librarian or reading coordinator may love LibraryAid, but without Clever SSO, district IT will not allow it.

LibraryAid now supports Clever via the Clever Library integration — which means any school or district already using Clever can add LibraryAid to their approved tools and deploy it immediately.

🔐 What Changes With Clever SSO

Before Clever: teachers and students needed separate LibraryAid accounts, manual class setup, and individual logins. District IT had no approved pathway to deploy LibraryAid.

After Clever: teachers log in with one click. Students log in with one click. Class rosters sync automatically from Clever. District IT can approve and deploy LibraryAid across multiple schools simultaneously.

How Clever SSO Works in LibraryAid

The integration is designed to be as frictionless as possible for both teachers and students.

Teacher First Login

Teacher clicks "Log in with Clever" and enters their school code once. Their LibraryAid account is created and linked automatically.

Roster Syncs Automatically

Class lists and student data are pulled from Clever into LibraryAid automatically. No manual student setup required.

Students Log In

Students click "Log in with Clever" and are taken straight to their LibraryAid reading dashboard. No separate password needed.

Every Time After

One click. That's it. Teachers and students never enter a separate LibraryAid username or password again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my school need to already use Clever to use LibraryAid?

No — Clever SSO is optional. LibraryAid works perfectly well with standard username and password login for schools that don't use Clever. The Clever integration is an additional option for schools and districts that require it.

Which Clever integration does LibraryAid use?

LibraryAid uses the Clever Library integration — a teacher-authorised integration that allows schools to connect LibraryAid to Clever without requiring district-level IT configuration. This makes it faster to set up while still meeting district SSO requirements.

What data does LibraryAid collect via Clever?

LibraryAid collects only first name and last initial for students via Clever — the minimum required to create a student reading profile. No email addresses, dates of birth, or other personally identifiable information are collected. LibraryAid is fully COPPA compliant.

Can our district deploy LibraryAid across multiple schools via Clever?

Yes — with Clever SSO, district coordinators can deploy LibraryAid across multiple schools. Each school runs its own full LibraryAid instance with complete AI recommendations, VIPERS comprehension tracking, and gamification. Contact us for district pricing.

Does LibraryAid support ClassLink?

ClassLink integration is planned as a follow-up to Clever. If your district uses ClassLink, please contact us — we can discuss timeline and prioritisation based on demand.

What happens to existing LibraryAid accounts when Clever is connected?

Existing accounts are unaffected. Teachers who already have LibraryAid accounts can link them to Clever for future one-click login. Schools not using Clever continue using standard login with no changes.
