Wondershelf helps school library staff keep track of their books, students and checkouts on iPhone and iPad. If something isn't working, or you have a question, we're glad to help.
Contact us
Email wondershelflibrary@gmail.com. To help us answer quickly, please include:
- your school's name and your library's name
- whether you're using an iPhone or an iPad, and the app version, shown at the bottom of the ••• menu
- what you were doing and what happened
Please don't email us students' personal information. If we need to look at a particular record, we'll ask how to find it without that.
Getting started
- Sign in with Apple or Google.
- Create a library, or accept an invitation if a colleague has invited you.
- Add books from ••• › Add Book. Scan or type the ISBN, and the title and author fill in when the book is found.
- Add students from the Students tab, under ••• › Add Student.
- Check a book out from its page, or scan its ISBN on a student's page.
Common questions
How do I join my school's library?
Ask the library's owner to invite you from ••• › Settings › Members, using the email address you sign in with. The invitation appears when you next sign in with that address. If you chose Hide My Email when signing in with Apple, the owner needs to invite that private relay address instead. You can see which address you're signed in with on the screen that lists your invitations.
Can I use a barcode scanner?
Yes. A Bluetooth barcode scanner works like a keyboard, so you can scan into any ISBN field. Typing the ISBN does the same thing.
Do students need an account?
No. Only school staff sign in. Students are listed in the library's roster, and never use the app.
How do I see which books are overdue?
Open ••• › Checkout Report on the Books tab. It lists every book that's checked out and who has it, can show only the overdue ones or group them by classroom, and can be printed or shared as a PDF.
Can I print barcode labels?
Yes. Tap the printer button on each book that needs a label, then choose ••• › Print Labels on the Books tab.
How do I delete my account?
Go to ••• › Settings › Delete Account. The Privacy Policy explains what's deleted and what stays with the school.
How is my school's information handled?
