Cloud612 Library App
Your library in your members’ pockets.
Your catalogue. Their next read. Everything they need to borrow, explore and stay connected—in your library’s own branded mobile app.
Connected to your library management system. Designed around the people who use it.
Shown with Your Library branding.
01 / Find your next read
Less searching. More discovering.
Help members turn a half-remembered title or a new interest into their next great read.
Responsive catalogue search offers title and author predictions as members type. Useful filters and sorting help narrow the collection, while cover artwork and clear title details make it easy to choose.
- Search by title, author or subject—or scan an ISBN.
- Check copy availability and choose a pickup branch for a hold.
- Save interesting titles to a personal reading list.
02 / Everyday borrowing
One place for a whole family of readers.
Loans, holds and reading lists stay close at hand. Members can switch between saved library accounts to keep up with their own borrowing and their family’s.
See due dates, renew eligible loans and manage supported hold options, with your library’s borrowing rules built into the experience.
A card that’s always handy
Display a scannable digital library card, access a securely saved card offline and add a Wallet pass where configured.
Borrow from your phone
Optional NFC self-checkout lets members identify a compatible library item, review eligibility and confirm borrowing through your configured integration and branch procedures.
03 / Beyond the bookshelf
Make more of your library easy to find.
Help members plan a visit, explore online resources and discover services they might otherwise miss.
Your digital library
Bring eBooks, audiobooks, magazines and learning resources into a clear directory, with links to supported titles and services.
More paths to discovery
Connect members with library news, events and useful service links, organised by your team.
04 / Your team, in control
Keep your library front of mind.
Cloud612 App Manager gives staff a browser-based home for the content members see.
Update service links and branch information, schedule promotions and choose featured book collections without waiting for an app-store release.
- Promote events, services and collections with publication windows and branch associations.
- Reach eligible members with targeted push campaigns and staff-initiated account messages, respecting notification preferences.
- Understand engagement with content and campaign reporting, with CSV exports.
Individual account messages are sent by staff; they are separate from automated overdue or hold notices.

05 / A new way to ask
A reading interest becomes a real recommendation.
“Suggest some books for my seven-year-old.” The AI Library Assistant connects everyday questions with verified titles in your library’s catalogue.
Members can explore reading ideas, ask about published opening hours and facilities, or find digital resources and library promotions. Account questions lead to useful account cards and existing app screens.
The assistant helps members discover and navigate; it does not renew loans, place holds or change borrowing records. Fetched account records are not sent to the AI provider.
AI can make mistakes. Typed questions are sent for interpretation, so members should leave personal details out of their messages.

Questions
Library app FAQs.
Can the app carry our library’s own branding?
Yes. Your app can have its own name, icon, launch artwork, logo and colours, with light and dark appearances. Core branding is configured for your app release; staff manage supported content through Cloud612 App Manager.
Does it integrate with our library management system?
The app connects catalogue discovery and member services with your library management system. We review your integration and borrowing policies with you to configure account access, availability, renewals, holds and supported self-checkout.
What can staff update without an app-store release?
Authorised staff can maintain public branch information, organise service links, publish and schedule promotions, and select and order supported featured book collections through the browser-based App Manager. Core branding and compiled app features require an app release.
Can members use digital cards and manage family accounts?
Yes. Members can save and switch between library accounts, display a scannable digital card and access a securely saved card offline. Wallet passes are available where configured. Live catalogue searches and account updates require an internet connection.
How does the AI Library Assistant work?
The assistant connects reading questions with verified catalogue titles and helps members find published library services and account screens. It can make mistakes and does not renew loans, place holds or change borrowing records. Questions are sent to the AI provider for interpretation; fetched member account records are not.
