## What is Bookyard?

Your books, shared with people you trust.

Bookyard is a private book-lending app for your groups: the class, the building, your friends. Scan the books on your shelf, lend and borrow inside the groups you already have, and keep a reading history for every reader at home.

Scan your shelf in minutes
• Point the camera at a barcode and the book appears with its title, author and cover.
• No barcode? Search by title, or take a photo of the cover and pick the match.
• Romanian and other European books are covered, not only English ones.
• Every book keeps its reading age and language, from picture books to novels.

One shared shelf for the whole group
• Create a group for a class, your building or your friends, and share the invite link in the chat you already use.
• Everyone's books appear on one shared shelf. Filter by age, language or what's available now.
• Be in as many groups as you like, and choose which groups see each book.

Lending without the awkward reminders
• Request a book, the owner approves, and you hand it over at pickup.
• Bookyard reminds everyone the day before and on the morning a book is due.
• Popular books get a waitlist, and the owner picks who's next.
• Bookyard knows who has what, so nobody has to ask twice.

Remember every book each reader has read
• Mark books as read for each reader, including the ones you borrowed.
• See what everyone at home has read, and what to read next.
• Invite your partner to manage the same library with you.

Private by design
• Only your groups see your shelf, and any book can stay private.
• Readers never need an account: a name or nickname and an age is all you add.
• Reading history stays in your library.
• No ads, ever.

Free, with Bookyard Plus when you need more
Your library, groups, lending and borrowing are free, and borrowing is never limited. The free plan holds up to 100 books, 3 readers and 5 cover scans a day. Bookyard Plus removes those limits, with a monthly or yearly subscription.
