For public libraries

Run your library's book clubs, without surrendering patron privacy.

A console that sits on top of the tools you already run, takes the reporting off your plate, and is built to clear reader-privacy law rather than skirt it.

Where we start

Built for the reader first.

The console exists to protect two things at once, the patron's privacy and the time you spend running programs. Everything below follows from that, and nothing here asks a reader to give up their reading in order to take part.

The librarian console

What it does.

01Patrons join without accounts

In library-mediated mode, patrons take part with no account and no reading history stored anywhere. The data model cannot hold what it never collects, so privacy is not a policy you have to trust but an architecture you can verify.

02The board report, in one click

Program counts, attendance, and outcomes become a single PDF, shaped for the IMLS survey and Project Outcome. A monthly club is twelve programs rather than one, and it is counted correctly, so the report up the chain stops being a spreadsheet you build by hand.

03Meetings have a real date, time, and place

Every meeting has a location, RSVPs, and reminders, and anyone can add it to their own calendar. The club just shows up.

04Kits, tracked

Track your book-club-in-a-bag kits as club assets, and keep sending patrons back to the desk to borrow and return them.

See the proof

The two things librarians ask to see.

A board-ready report, in one click

A year of programs becomes a single PDF, shaped for the IMLS survey and Project Outcome. A monthly club counts as twelve programs, not one.

Our privacy promise

Privacy is the point, not a setting.

Reading records are protected by law in nearly every state, and we built the product around that rather than against it. Participation is aggregate by default, outcome surveys are anonymous, and a patron never has to surrender their reading data to join a club.

A calm way to begin.

Early pilots are free, and there is no procurement to clear. We set up your console, build the one integration you need alongside your staff, and you run your next club on it. You can stop at any time.
