For small & personal libraries
Your neighborhood library, quietly online.
LibLocal gives a book club, a classroom shelf, or a living-room collection a real catalog and a gentle way to lend. No spreadsheets, no late-fee guilt trips — just books finding their way home.
Free to start · Your own library link · iOS app included
Everything a small library needs, nothing it doesn't.
Built for the person who knows every book on the shelf and wants to keep it that way.
A catalog that feels tended
Shelve every title with covers, genres, and a spot on the shelf. Search by title, author, or what's actually available right now.
Lending without the ledger
Check a book out to a friend in two taps. Due dates default to a kind two weeks, and returns close the loop instantly.
Scan the ISBN, skip the typing
Point your camera at the barcode and we pull the title, author, publisher, and cover. A whole shelf added in an afternoon.
Overdue reminders, softly
Automatic email nudges when a loan runs long — friendly enough to keep the peace, firm enough to get the book back.
Your own front door
Every library gets its own web address, like liblocal.app/maple-street — a real link to share with your readers.
In your pocket too
The native iOS app keeps your catalog, checkouts, and reminders a glance away, whether you're at the desk or the doorway.
Open in an afternoon.
From bare shelf to lending desk in three unhurried steps.
