Library Checker

Instantly see if a Goodreads book is available at your local library.

Stop tab-switching between Goodreads and your library's website. Library Checker shows you whether your local library has a Goodreads book — in print, as an eBook, or as an audiobook — and how long the wait will be. No manual searching, no copy-pasting titles into another tab. HOW IT WORKS Browse Goodreads like normal. On a book page, Library Checker checks your chosen library in the background and shows the result right on the page: • Available now — copies on the shelf, ready to borrow • Hold queue — see how many holds are ahead of you and a rough estimate of the wait • Different edition available — the library has the title, just not this exact edition, with a link to browse what it does have • Not in the catalog — so you know to look elsewhere before making a trip DIGITAL COPIES (LIBBY / OVERDRIVE) If your library lends eBooks and audiobooks through Libby/OverDrive, you'll see whether each is available now or how long the wait is, with a link straight to the title. CHECK A WHOLE SHELF Open your "Want to Read" shelf (or any Goodreads shelf) and scan it in one click. Every book gets a badge showing whether your library has it, so you can pick your next read from what you can actually borrow. • Free: one shelf scan per day, covering the first 10 books on the page • Premium: unlimited scans of the whole page SHELF ALERTS (PREMIUM) Premium scans are re-checked automatically overnight. When a book on your shelf becomes available, you get an email. WORKS WITH YOUR LIBRARY Supports libraries on the BiblioCommons platform, used by many public libraries across Canada and the US. Pick your library once in Settings and every check uses it automatically.
