Library & resources
Scan-to-checkout for your book collection, and bookings for the equipment and rooms everyone shares.
Any USB scanner works — it types like a keyboard. Holds and overdues track themselves.
In short
Pearspark runs a real lending library — ISBN auto-fill, printable barcodes, scan-to-checkout, holds, due dates, and overdue tracking — plus resource management for shared equipment and rooms with a booking calendar. Library activity shows on student records; assignments can link the books they use.
A library system small schools can actually run
Add a book by ISBN and the details fill themselves. Print barcode labels, scan to check out and in, take holds, and see overdues at a glance. Volunteers can run the checkout desk with one permission.
The stuff everyone shares, finally tracked
Microscopes, sports kits, the good projector, the multipurpose room: catalog them with barcodes, reserve them on a booking calendar, and stop double-booking the space two classes both planned around.
Connected to teaching
Assignments and lesson plans can link library books, and rooms tie into the class schedule — the library isn't a silo, it's part of the school's system of record.

Common questions
Do we need a barcode scanner?
Any cheap USB scanner works (they type like keyboards), and you can also search by title or type the code by hand. Barcode labels print from the app.
Can volunteers run the library?
Yes — give a volunteer or a custom role just the checkout permission and they can run the desk without seeing anything else.
