Free & open catalog
A library catalog schools can actually run
Global Library lets a school, NGO, or community group create its own library, catalog books by ISBN with details fetched automatically, and manage who can help run it — no IT department or hosted database required. Browse public libraries, search for a book, or to get started.

Libraries
Every library here is real — created and cataloged by a school, NGO, or community group. This is the main thing Global Library does.
