Thanks for visiting the documentation about the two Libraree services:

* the [**catalogue search**](https://www.libraree.org/) - allowing you to search across multiple library services for a book and check its availability at branches
* [**Libraree Cards**](https://cards.libraree.org/) - which allows you to keep your library card in your Apple Wallet or Wallet Passes on Android.

### Who's behind Libraree?

This is an [open source](https://github.com/cpwood/libraree/) personal project started by me, Chris Wood. I'm not professionally involved with any library service or library service provider, but I am a passionate advocate of libraries and also a professional software developer.

### How can library services or service providers get involved?

There are several ways:

* Libraree Cards - provide us with information that makes the user journey shorter and easier for patrons of your library.
* Catalogue Search - allow us to integrate and search your online catalogue through an approved API.
* Spread the word about Libraree inside your libraries!
