📚 THE CLASSROOM LIBRARY MANAGER 📚

Your Classroom Library — Organized, Tracked, and Student-Run

────────────────────────

Tired of books disappearing from your classroom library with no way to track them? Done with crumpled sign-out sheets that no one fills in? This interactive digital tool puts your entire classroom library at your fingertips — and your students can help run it.

The Classroom Library Manager is a beautiful, interactive tool that runs right in your web browser. Just download, open, and go. No internet required. No accounts to create. No subscriptions. It saves everything automatically to your computer.

✅ Browse Mode where any student can search the catalog without a password

✅ Automatic overdue book tracking — never lose a book again

✅ One-click CSV exports for reports, inventory, and overdue lists

✅ Bulk import — paste your entire book list and student roster in seconds

✅ Built-in backup & restore — save your entire library to a file and restore anytime
