Your Book Nest
A library run by volunteers is run by several people, and each of them should sign in as themselves. The team page is where you invite them, see who has access, and remove access when someone moves on - with no shared password anywhere.
How do I invite another volunteer?
From the Team page, send an invitation to their email address. They follow the link, set up their own sign-in, and land in your library with the catalogue, patrons and loans already there. An invitation link works for 14 days; after that, resend it from the same page. An invitation sent to the wrong address can be revoked before it is accepted.
What can a team member do?
Run the library. A team member catalogues items, manages the kind and tag vocabularies, adds patrons, lends, returns and prints labels - the full daily job, same as you. Everyone works in the one shared library, so a book checked out on Sunday morning shows as out when a different volunteer opens the loans list on Tuesday.
What can only the owner do?
The library's policy and its money: the library name, the loan settings (loan period and per-patron item limit) and the subscription are owner-only. Everything day-to-day is open to the whole team.
How do I remove someone?
From the Team page. Removing a team member takes away their access to the library immediately; everything they catalogued and lent stays, because it belongs to the library.
How many people can be on the team?
Up to 20, counting outstanding invitations - far beyond any volunteer rota. Team members are free on every plan, with no per-seat fee.
How Your Book Nest handles teams
Invite volunteers by email from the Team page; each gets their own sign-in to the one shared library. Members do the full daily job, the owner keeps policy and billing, and removal is immediate. Invitations expire after 14 days and can be resent or revoked.
