Looking for info on online apps and programs that can be used by both church and members

Posted by Marie Strolin on September 19, 2023 at 16:52 in Church Library Administration

Hi, Everyone! 

I have been asked to organize our church library (it hasn't been reviewed in years). 

A friend of mine introduced me to the app LibraryThing and I know that it will be a HUGE help to me to organize.

But I'd love to find an online program that our members can access to get information, etc.  

Do you use apps or programs that work for you? I'd love to learn more about your experience! 

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

    You can use LibraryThing as the online access for your members via their app TinyCat (https://www.librarycat.org/), so it will integrate perfectly with your LibraryThing catalog. It works great for us and it is only $6 a month for up to 5,000 books.

    Here is a link to our site if you want to see how it works: https://www.librarycat.org/lib/CFBC

    TinyCat by LibraryThing is a good, inexpensive option.

    Here's a list of questions to ask as you shop for programs plus the contact information for our sponsors.

    Take a look at the 3 Church Librarians Network sponsors. You will find their links on the Main page on the right side of the screen. We recommend all 3 online apps and programs.
