Your church library, organized.
ShelfMate lets a church or ministry catalog its books, check them out to members and see what is overdue, with nothing to install.
Who it is for
- Church librarians who keep the collection and the loans.
- Pastors and ministry leaders who lend books to their people.
- Members, who can look through the library and see their own loans.
What you can do
A book catalog
Keep every title with its author, category, cover, publisher, year and number of copies, searchable and filterable.
Find book details by ISBN
Look a book up by its ISBN and save the details instead of typing them.
Members
Keep your patrons with their contact details and see each person's loans at a glance.
Checking out and returning
Check books out with a due date, record returns, and keep the count of copies right.
Overdue at a glance
Overdue loans stand out on the dashboard, and the oldest come first.
A dashboard
Books, copies available, members, current loans and overdue items on one screen.
A place for your members
Members sign in to look through the library and see their own loans.
A search for the lobby
Let people search the catalog from a screen at the church.
