Schools using Reading Cloud can now ensure the library and its resources are accessible anywhere, anytime and available to your whole school community. The app is a fantastic way to encourage parental engagement with reading.

Display the latest news from the library and showcase information such as the ‘Top Ten’, ‘New Arrivals’ ‘Latest Returns’ and ‘Book of the Week’.

Using the ‘Your Top Picks’ feature, the app will automatically recommend new books based on your past loans.

Students can write reviews about books, websites and other resources and books can also be reserved using the app.

Search the library catalogue using the search feature to find books and websites to help with homework or general research or for the latest book by your favourite author.

Parents can track borrowing patterns for children with access to current and past loans information.

The Community Stats feature allows you to check on the most popular books and authors across the Reading Cloud community.

Using the ‘ISBN Search’ feature you can also check whether your school library has a copy of a book before buying it online or in a book store.

Also try our new Augmented Reality feature – Point your device’s camera at a book cover that the app recognises and it will superimpose a video of the author talking.

Currently only available if your school library uses Reading Cloud. If you’re not sure, why not check with your school librarian.

You will need your user name, password and school name / postcode to log into the app. If you don’t have these details or your school is not on hosted yet, you can try out the app by tapping the demo button on the login screen.
