Your reading adventure
starts here.
Books chosen for you. A worm that grows with you. A world waiting.
LibraryAid isn't a reading log. It's the place where you find books you'll actually want to read — books chosen just for you, with a game that rewards you for finishing them and a worm that proves everywhere you've been.
Your worm is waiting.
The moment you log in, you see your name, your class, your books — and your worm, right there in the corner wearing whatever you've dressed it in. It remembers every book you've read. Every quiz you've completed. Every review you've written.
Your homepage shows you exactly where you are: how many books are waiting for you, the reading goal you're working toward, and the four steps between you and your next fortnight of reading glory.
This is your place. No one else has the same worm. No one else has the same books waiting.
Four steps. Fourteen days. Then it all resets. 🎯
Every two weeks, you have four things to do. Complete them all and you've had a real reading fortnight — not just sitting with a book, but actually reading, thinking, and writing about it.
Each goal earns a ⭐ star. All four? You've run the full loop. Then it starts again with your next book.
Not just "books kids your age like."
LibraryAid looks at 30+ things about you before it recommends a single book. Your reading level. Your favourite genres. Your favourite authors. Series you're in the middle of. Topics you're studying in class. Books your friends have loved. Award-winning titles you haven't discovered yet.
Up to 100 books waiting for you — all of them physically on your school's shelves today. Every recommendation is a book you can walk to the library and pick up right now.
Two lists: books that will feel like flying because you love the genre, and books that will stretch you just enough to make you a better reader. Both matter. Both are yours.
- Up to 100 personalised recommendations just for you
- Reading for Pleasure list — books you'll love
- Challenge list — books that will stretch you
- Every book physically available in your library today
Finish a book. Play the game.
When you finish a book, you answer VIPERS questions — Vocabulary, Inference, Prediction, Explanation, Retrieval, Summarise. Not a test. A game. Every correct answer does something.
Questions start easy and get harder as you go. Thirty questions per book — but you don't have to do them all at once. Come back to it. Pick up where you left off.
And when you get answers right, your worm runs faster.
- 30 questions per book — easy, medium, hard
- All 6 VIPERS skills covered
- Correct answers power up Bookworm Runner
- Save your progress and come back any time
The game that runs on reading. 🎮
How it works
Bookworm Runner is a Mario-style platform game. Your worm runs through a world of book piles, slopes, and canyon jumps. Correct answers from your VIPERS quiz keep your worm going, restore hearts, and earn you genre points. Get answers wrong and your worm slows down. The better you understood the book, the further you run.
Why it matters
The game isn't a reward bolted onto reading. It's part of the reading loop. Finishing the book, doing the quiz, playing the game — each one feeds into the next. And the genre points you earn in the game go straight to your worm's accessory shop. Reading widely gets you further than reading the same genre over and over. Each correct comprehension answer earns around 10 seconds of gameplay — enough to feel like a reward, never enough to become the point. There's no shortcut to it either: you can only play by reading the book and understanding it first. The game rewards comprehension, not time spent playing.
Your reading companion. Your proof.
Your worm is yours. Nobody else's worm looks like yours — because nobody else has read the same books in the same genres as you.
Every genre has its own costume set. Read Action & Survival books and you'll unlock a full pirate captain outfit — hat, red bandana, and a parrot companion. Read Superheroes and you'll get a Hero Helmet. Read Fantasy and your worm gets a wizard hat. Twenty-one genres. Twenty-one reward sets.
Other students can see your worm too. When they spot one wearing something they haven't unlocked yet, they ask how to get it. The answer is always the same: read that genre.
- 21 genres, each with unique worm costumes
- Costumes unlocked by spending genre points in the shop
- Preview any item before spending your points
- Other students see your worm — peer inspiration built in
Spend your points. Dress your worm.
Every genre has its own points currency. Superheroes points buy Superheroes gear. Mystery points unlock Mystery outfits. You earn them by reading in that genre and getting quiz answers right in Bookworm Runner.
The shop lets you browse all available items, preview them on your worm before you buy, and equip the ones you own. Some items cost just a few points. Some take a whole reading project to unlock. All of them are worth it.
The collection never stops growing. Keep reading, keep running, keep collecting.
Tell the class what you thought.
Every book you finish, you write a review. It earns you genre points. And if your teacher approves it, it goes live for your whole class to read.
Your review might be the reason someone else picks up that book. Or avoids it. Either way, you're helping your classmates find their next read — and your reading history becomes a record of everywhere you've been.
You can look back at everything you've ever reviewed. Every book. Every star rating. Every thought you had when you finished it. That's your reading life, right there.
Read widely. Earn more. Climb higher.
LibraryAid rewards reading across genres — not just reading a lot of the same thing. The leaderboard reflects breadth as well as volume, so the student who's tried ten different genres is earning more than the one who's read twenty books in the same series.
15 fiction genres · 6 non-fiction genres · each with its own worm costume set
Find it. Borrow it. Never miss out.
Borrow books
LibraryAid tracks every book in your school library. When you find one you want, you'll know if it's on the shelf or checked out. If it's checked out, join the reservation queue — you'll get a notification the moment it's returned and ready for you.
Never a dead end
Every single recommendation LibraryAid shows you is a book that's physically in your school library today. Not somewhere on the internet. Not in a different school. On your shelves. So every recommendation is an invitation to walk to the library and pick it up.
Reading isn't a chore.
It's a world.
And your worm is proof of everywhere you've been. Every costume it wears is a genre you explored. Every book in your history is a world you visited. Every review you wrote helped someone else find their next adventure. That's not school work. That's a reading life.
