Frequently Asked Questions

Is our library private?

Yes. Your library is invitation-only. Only people you invite—family or friends—can see your library, browse books, or request loans. No public discovery.

How do book handoffs work?

When you request a book, the owner gets a notification and approves the loan. Hand it off at the next family dinner, drop it by their house, or coordinate however works for you. The system tracks who has the book.

Is the free tier enough?

For most families, yes. The free tier includes generous limits even for extensive collections.

Can we give books permanently, not just lend?

Yes. You can transfer ownership within the system. If Grandpa wants to give a book to his grandson, he transfers ownership and the grandson becomes the book's owner.

Can children access the family library?

Users must be 13+ to have their own account. Children under 13 access books through a parent's account. For teens 13-17, optional parental supervision features provide visibility into reading activity.

How do we get started?

One family member creates the library and invites others via email or shareable link. As each person joins, they scan and contribute their books. Most families are up and running in under 10 minutes.

Ready to Start?

Your family and friends already own great books scattered across households. Bring them together. Share what you've read. Pass it on.

Free for most families. No credit card required.
