Spend your book budget on
exactly what's missing.
LibraryAid scans your entire catalogue against 1,300+ award-winning and curated titles — and tells you precisely which books to buy, by year group, with direct purchase links.
Every school has a book budget. Most librarians spend it based on instinct, publisher catalogues, or whatever's on a bestseller list. Meanwhile the Carnegie Medal winner from three years ago that your Year 5s would love is sitting unbought because nobody cross-referenced it against your catalogue. LibraryAid does that cross-referencing automatically.
Your library has gaps you don't know about.
Across 13 of the most respected award lists and reading programmes — Carnegie Medal, Waterstones, Newbery, Caldecott, Blue Peter, UKLA, BooksForTopics and more — there are books that primary school children love and librarians regularly recommend. The odds are your library is missing many of them. Not because you made a bad decision. Because nobody had the time to cross-reference 1,300 titles against your catalogue one by one. Until now.
LibraryAid does the cross-referencing automatically. Every time you log in, you see exactly which award-winning and curated titles aren't on your shelves yet — grouped by year group, filterable by award source, each with a direct link to buy.
1,300+ titles. Every gap shown.
LibraryAid checks your catalogue against titles from 13 of the most trusted award lists and reading programmes in the UK, US, and Australia. Books your library doesn't own are shown grouped by year group — from Nursery through to Year 9 — so you can focus your budget on the year groups that need it most.
Every missing book shows its award status, year group, source list, and cover image. Award winners are clearly badged. Filter by any combination of year group, fiction or non-fiction, and award source to build a targeted purchase list in minutes.
- Grouped by year group — Nursery to Year 9
- Award winner and shortlist badges on every card
- Filter by year group, fiction/non-fiction, award source
- Grid view or list view — whichever suits your workflow
- Coverage score shows exactly what percentage of the curated list you already own
- Never miss a Carnegie or Newbery winner again
See your collection's blind spots.
A healthy school library isn't just well-stocked — it's well-balanced. LibraryAid tracks your collection across all 21 genres (15 fiction, 6 non-fiction) and shows you exactly where the gaps are using a Red/Amber/Green chart that scales to your library size.
Targets aren't fixed numbers — a 500-book library isn't held to the same standard as a 5,000-book library. The system scales proportionally, so a small school library gets realistic, achievable targets rather than impossible ones.
One click triggers an AI analysis using Claude — it reads your gap data, identifies the most critical shortfalls, and recommends specific books you don't already own, tailored to your school's context and student age range.
- RAG chart across all 21 genres — fiction and non-fiction split
- Targets scale automatically to your library size
- Green = well covered · Amber = needs attention · Red = critical gap
- AI analysis recommends specific books for your biggest gaps
- AI never recommends books already in your catalogue
- School-context aware — international schools, location, age range
Complete the series your students love.
There's nothing more frustrating for a student than finding a series they love, only to discover book 3 isn't on the shelf. LibraryAid automatically detects series from your catalogue — if you own books 1, 2, and 4 in a series, it flags that book 3 is missing before a student discovers it the hard way.
One click asks Claude for the exact titles and authors of the missing books in that series, with direct Bookshop.org and Amazon buy links. No manual searching required.
- Automatic series detection — no setup or tagging needed
- Shows which numbered books you own and which are missing
- Sorted by number of books owned — most invested series first
- AI identifies exact missing titles and authors on demand
- Direct Bookshop.org and Amazon buy links for every missing title
