Everything Your Library Needs

Powerful features designed specifically for school libraries, built with teachers and librarians in mind.

Barcode Scanning

Quick checkout and returns with ISBN barcode scanning. Works with any USB scanner or device camera - no special hardware needed.

Auto Book Details

Scan an ISBN and we automatically fetch book covers, titles, authors, and descriptions. Building your catalogue has never been easier.

Student Management

Import students from Arbor, SIMS, or CSV. Track borrowing history, reading preferences, and loan limits per year group.

Reports & Analytics

See which books are popular, track overdue items, monitor reading trends, and export data for governors' reports.

Your School Branding

Add your school logo, colors, and custom messaging. Each school gets their own branded subdomain (e.g., yourschool.storystarlings.com).
