From dusty checkout cards and wooden shelves to digital catalogs and real-time collaboration — libraries are evolving fast. As reading, learning, and sharing books become more digital and community-driven, library management also needs a smarter, more connected solution.
That’s exactly where Skoolib comes in — a modern app that helps schools, organizations, and book-loving groups create and manage shared libraries effortlessly, right from their phones or computers.
✨ WHAT IS SKOOLIB?
Skoolib is a modern and powerful library management app designed specifically for multiple users — schools, reading clubs, educational centers, organizations or community groups, and even families.
Unlike traditional library software built for a single librarian, Skoolib lets multiple users manage and use the same library together, with clear roles and collaborative tools that make borrowing, returning, and organizing books easy and transparent.
✨ WHAT MAKES SKOOLIB STAND OUT?
1, Add Books Easily with Skoolib
Skoolib makes adding books to your library fast, flexible, and user-friendly. Whether you’re managing a personal bookshelf or a large institutional library, Skoolib offers multiple ways to add books efficiently:
🔍 Search by Title, Author, or ISBN
Quickly find books by typing in the title, author name, or ISBN. Skoolib connects to public databases to fetch book details instantly, saving you time on manual entry.
📷 Scan ISBN Barcode
Use your phone’s camera to scan the book’s ISBN barcode. In seconds, Skoolib retrieves the cover, title, author, and other metadata — all automatically filled in for you.
✍️ Add Manually
Prefer to enter details yourself? No problem. Skoolib allows full manual entry, including fields for title, author, genre, series, language, publisher, and custom notes.
In addition, you can upload custom cover images for each book to personalize and visually enhance your library.
With its intuitive interface and powerful entry tools, building your digital library with Skoolib has never been easier. Whether you're managing 10 books or 10,000, Skoolib is ready to grow with you.
2, Multi-User Access with Flexible Role Management
Skoolib is built for collaboration. Whether you're managing a classroom library, a family collection, or a community reading group, Skoolib makes it easy for multiple people to work together in the same library. With just a few taps, you can invite others to join your library and assign them specific roles such as:
Admin – full access to manage everything
Librarian – catalog books and manage loans
Member – view books and loans
Guest – view-only access for limited participation
Each role has predefined permissions, so you stay in control while still allowing others to help. Just go to the “Members” section in your library settings, tap “Add member,” enter their email, and choose the appropriate role.
🔒 You can also add offline members. Offline members do not need to create a Skoolib account or log in. Just enter their name and email (the email field remains required to maintain data structure), and you're ready to lend books without triggering a profile activation.
This role-based system keeps your library organized, secure, and transparent—ideal for environments where many hands and minds come together around books. Skoolib makes collaboration not just possible, but effortless.
3, Cloud Sync for Anytime, Anywhere Access
One of Skoolib’s key advantages is its secure cloud-based data storage. All your book records, loan history, members, and settings are automatically synced across devices. This allows you to access your library from any phone, tablet, or computer—whether you're at home, at school, or on the move. With cloud sync, you’ll never worry about losing data or being tied to a single device. Your library is always with you, updated in real time, and ready when you need it.
4, Effortless Sharing with Full Control
Skoolib makes it simple and smart to share your library content—on your terms. Whether you want to recommend a single title or showcase a full collection, you can easily create shareable links and send them to classmates, parents, or colleagues.
No need to add users or change settings—just copy the link and share. If you ever change your mind, you can revoke access instantly with a single tap, keeping full control over who sees your content. This flexible sharing feature is ideal for:
📖 Collaborative learning in classrooms
🧑🏫 Resource sharing among teachers or educators
📚 Project-based reading lists for students or groups
With Skoolib, sharing your library is as easy as sending a message—with all the control still in your hands.
5, Streamlined Book Loan Management – Know Who Has What, Instantly
Forget the guesswork and chaos of tracking borrowed books manually. With Skoolib’s built-in loan tracking, you can see who borrowed which book, when it was borrowed, and when it’s due back—all in real time. The system automatically updates loan records and provides a simple, intuitive dashboard that makes it easy to stay on top of returns and overdue items. Whether you're managing a small group or a full school library, Skoolib makes loan tracking fast, transparent, and stress-free.
6, Scalable and Flexible — Built for Every Library, Big or Small
Skoolib is built to scale with your needs. Whether you have a modest classroom shelf with a few dozen titles or a comprehensive school-wide collection of thousands of books, the app can adapt easily. No special technical knowledge is needed. Skoolib’s flexible architecture handles varying sizes and complexities without losing performance or usability. It’s an ideal solution for anyone—from a teacher managing a single reading corner to an administrator overseeing an entire campus library.
