Why I made Your Book Nest
A lot of small community libraries run on goodwill and a spreadsheet. Churches, mosques, study groups and community centres lend out books, CDs and DVDs, and a volunteer keeps track of who has what on a piece of paper or in their head.
When I looked into the existing library software, I realised most of it is built for big institutions - far too expensive and far too complicated for a library run by a handful of volunteers who know every patron by name.
I made Your Book Nest to be the opposite of that. It's web-based and simple to use - no barcode scanners, no training, no features you'll never touch. You add your books, lend them out, and see who has what and when it's due back.

Your Book Nest is a new service and I'm actively working to improve it based on user feedback.
