Bring research skills to life in your library.
The Learner's Library gives your students seven interactive adventures, each built on the AASL Standards. Setting it up is quick.
How it works
Create your account.
Sign up with your school email and choose a password. We'll send a one-time code to confirm it's really you.
Pick your school.
Choose it from your district's list. If it's missing, tell us and we'll add it.
Share your school's code.
Print a sign or poster, show the QR code on your board, or post the student link in Google Classroom, Canvas or Seesaw.
Students start exploring.
They scan the QR code or type the code, pick a book, and they're off. No accounts, no names.
Your dashboard
Everything you need is in one place: your school's code, QR code, student link, a printable sign and poster, and a "Show on screen" view for your board. Work at more than one school? Add them all and switch anytime.
Try it yourself
Signed in, you can open any book in teacher preview. Explore every adventure before your students do, and nothing you do is recorded.
A fresh start each school year
Your school gets a new code every August 1. We'll email you when it's ready, and your dashboard will help you print your new sign.
Private by design
Students never create accounts or type their names. We only record anonymous visits and answers (for example, which book, which skill, and whether answers were right), and we never collect anything that identifies a student. Read our privacy policy.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The Learner's Library is free for every school, with no ads.
Do students need accounts or email addresses?
No. Students never create accounts, type their names or give an email address. They scan your school's QR code or type its code, pick a book and start.
Who is it for?
Elementary students and the school librarians and teachers who guide them.
What devices does it work on?
iPads (upright or sideways), Chromebooks and computers, in a web browser. There's nothing to install.
Is it available in Spanish?
Yes. Every adventure has English and Español (beta), with Spanish narration, and students can switch at any time.
My school isn't listed. What do I do?
Tell us your school's name and city when you sign up, and we'll add it. We'll email you as soon as it's ready.
I work at more than one school.
Add each school to your account. Each one has its own code, QR code and sign, and you can switch between them on your dashboard.
What do you collect?
Only anonymous visits and answers, never anything that identifies a student.
Our school's web filter blocks it. What do I do?
Ask your IT team to allow these addresses (you can forward them this note):
For IT: The Learner's Library runs in the web browser; there's nothing to install. Please allow thelearnerslibrary.com (and www.thelearnerslibrary.com, if your filter lists it separately): the pages, pictures, fonts, narration, videos and the app's own server all come from there; nothing else is needed. One-time codes (for new accounts and password resets) are emailed from hello@thelearnerslibrary.com: please let that sender through your email filter so the codes arrive.
