Our library management system helps you run your library effectively, supporting you to put it at the heart of your school and ultimately, encouraging reading for pleasure across your entire school community.

Why schools love Reading Cloud

“Reading Cloud makes you proud of what you can collectively achieve using the platform. It’s fantastic for issuing and returning books, and for promoting reading with all the functionality on the homepage.”

Annette Jones

Rougemont School

“Reading Cloud is an invaluable tool. The simplicity, and child-friendly nature allows pupils the opportunity to become junior librarians. It also provides valuable data to help us keep our young learners motivated in reading.”

Lesley Maxwell

Swinton Primary School

“Students take books out of the library themselves so it’s promoting independence, but it also allows the teacher to be freed up to chat to children about their books rather than dealing with all the admin.”

Jenny Birse

Banchory Primary School
