Their own progress in view
The children really love marking which page they're on and seeing how many books they've already read.
Carried by the pupil, not by the system
You can see what every pupil is reading, and they get personal book tips
The problem
Does this sound familiar?
Some pupils pick the same kind of book every week
Others pick something far too difficult and give up
You only find out at the test that their reading level has stalled
You don't know which book to recommend to a specific child
And whether reading still happens at home? No idea
How it works
- 1Lending the way you already do
At school and to take home. Pupils borrow books themselves with their QR-code bookmark, or a teacher or library parent does it for them.
No separate admin: the lending is the record. And no, not every child needs their own device.
- 2See what every pupil is reading
Insight into reading behavior, reading meters and engagement per pupil, visible to the teacher and the learning support coordinator.
Not as monitoring but as conversation: you see who's getting stuck before it becomes a problem.
- 3See what the group is doing
Library bestsellers, new books that sit untouched, or shifts over the course of the year. This overview is for the reading coordinator: where the teacher looks at the pupil level, you look at the school level and spot patterns you'd otherwise miss.
- 4Give every child a fitting suggestion
Based on what the child read before and what their peers enjoy. For the pupil, inside the app; for the teacher, as a suggestion when helping them choose.
That closes the circle: this is the promise the page opened with.
The pupil themselves
Hand the reins to the child. By logging in with their own bookmark, pupils can search for and borrow books completely independently. They see their own reading list at a glance and discover new book tips that fit them exactly. That way, ownership of reading really sits with the pupil.

The whole class reads now
The kids who already loved reading were always going to read anyway, but it's exactly the kids who find reading hard who used to be doing something else instead — and now I see my whole class reading.

Instead of a traditional lending system
Our app fully replaces the school library's traditional lending system. In short:
No barcode stickers
You no longer need to manually stick barcodes on books.
No scanner or computer needed
Lending can happen anywhere, without fixed hardware or a staffed desk.
Insight instead of admin
You get insight into reading behavior in return, instead of just a static lending record.
