Complete Library Management for Schools

LibraryAid now manages your physical library too. QR code checkout, student borrowing records, automated overdue alerts, and circulation reports — all in the same platform your teachers already use.

What's included

Everything your library needs, nothing it doesn't

Six core features that cover the full physical library workflow — from scanning a book out to chasing it back in.

🏷️

QR Code Generation

Every book in your catalogue gets a unique QR code. Print and stick — or use the ones already on your copies. No barcode scanner hardware required.

📱

Camera-Based QR Scanning

Scan books with any phone or tablet camera. No dedicated hardware to buy or maintain. Works on iOS and Android out of the box.

📖

Student Checkout & Return

Search for a student, scan the book, done. The checkout is recorded instantly with a 14-day due date. Returns work the same way — scan and confirm.

⚠️

Overdue Tracking & Email Alerts

The system automatically flags overdue books every morning and emails the class teacher. No manual chasing — teachers know before they have to ask.

📊

Circulation Reports

Five built-in report views: Most Borrowed, Never Borrowed, Currently Checked Out, Overdue, and Student History. Filter any view by class.

🎒

Student Borrowing History

Every student has a complete borrowing record. Students can see their own history in the student portal. Teachers can see any student's full history in reports.

How it works

Set up in an afternoon. Running from day one.

LibraryAid cataloguing is designed to fit into a real school day — not create extra work for librarians or admin staff.

Upload your catalogue

Import your existing book list as a CSV, or add books manually. ISBN lookup fills in title, author, cover and reading age automatically.

Print QR codes

Generate QR code labels directly from LibraryAid. Print and stick inside the cover of each copy — one per physical book.

Scan to check out

Teacher opens Library Checkout on any device, searches for the student, scans the book's QR code. Checkout recorded in under 10 seconds.

Reports run themselves

Overdue alerts email teachers automatically every morning. Circulation reports update in real time — no end-of-term data entry needed.

Circulation reports that actually get used

Five report tabs give you a complete picture of your library's circulation — which books are flying off the shelves, which haven't moved in months, and exactly who has what.

Most Borrowed — top 20 books by checkout count
Never Borrowed — find overlooked stock
Currently Checked Out — full live view
Overdue — one click to see every late book
Student History — individual borrowing records
Filter any view by class

No rip-and-replace required

LibraryAid cataloguing is designed to fit around how your school already works — not force you to change everything at once.

🔄

Use alongside your existing system

Run LibraryAid cataloguing in parallel with your current library software while you transition. No obligation to switch everything on day one.

📂

Import your existing catalogue

Bring in your existing book records via CSV. We can help with the import — you don't need to re-enter thousands of books by hand.

📱

No hardware to buy

Any phone or tablet with a camera becomes a barcode scanner. There's no dedicated hardware to procure, maintain, or replace when it breaks.

🎓

Teachers learn it in minutes

The checkout flow is three steps: find student, scan book, confirm. Teachers don't need training — they just pick it up.

🔒

Your data stays yours

All student data is stored securely in your school's account. Nothing is shared. You can export everything at any time.
