## What is iLibrary?

Designed for small primary schools, office and home libraries, iLibrary's mission is to make it ridiculously easy to catalogue a library and track books as they are borrowed and returned.
 
iLibrary uses your device's camera to scan the ISBN barcodes that are on the back cover of almost all books. There's no need to print special barcode labels or buy expensive RFID tags.
 
Cataloguing the library is straight-forward. Each book's title and author is looked up online using the ISBN number. Once catalogued you can perform stock-takes and track who has borrowed what.
 
iLibrary works on a trust-basis, making it quick and easy for lenders to use. Lenders can borrow and return books by simply selecting their photograph from the app and scanning the books they are borrowing or returning. It's perfect for children, even those who have just started school.
 
If you have more than one device then books can be borrowed and returned on any device running iLibrary. There's no limit to how many devices can be running simultaneously.
