Private library management
Know every edition, every copy, and every story your collection carries.
Catalog the books you own, preserve their condition and value, share a library without sharing personal reading history, and always know where a copy belongs.
Private by default. Free during beta for collections up to 500 copies.
A collector's catalog
Library Haven separates the intellectual work, its published edition, and the physical copy on your shelf. Add another copy without duplicating everything. Record another edition without losing the relationship between them.
Title, series, ordered authors, genres, tags, and summary.
Publisher, partial publication date, ISBN, format, language, pages, and DDC.
Barcode, shelf position, acquisition, condition, value, photographs, notes, and loan history.
Middle-earth · Volume 1
Made for the whole collection
From acquisition to appraisal, reading to return, each workflow is part of the same library record.
Enter books manually or search by ISBN, title, or author. Review provider metadata before saving and resolve duplicate works, editions, and copies deliberately.
Google Books + Open Library fallback
ISBN normalization · bulk quantity
Keep the cover, spine, title and publication pages, dust jacket, inscriptions, signatures, and damage with captions and independent visibility.

Optimized originals + thumbnails
Use library-defined condition grades, percentage adjustments, fixed overrides, appraisal sources, and dated histories while preserving the amount you paid.

Deep filters · collector-friendly sorting
One library, individual readers
Every member has an independent rating, favorite list, progress record, reading history, and annual goals. Readers decide whether their activity is visible, while owners can publish only an anonymized aggregate.
Your library, under your control
Set a library to private, unlisted, or public, then control costs, values, exact locations, identities, and every media category independently.
Owners can export versioned JSON, media, manifests, and checksums in one ZIP, with CSV exports and mapped imports alongside it.
Start with familiar role presets or define custom access for cataloging, locations, circulation, reports, values, media, settings, and publishing.
Free beta access
Payment processing is intentionally off during beta. Every account can own one Free library and join invited libraries; larger plans can be assigned by an administrator.
For a personal collection or a shared household shelf.
For established private collections and active clubs.
For schools, organizations, and significant archives.
Public collections
Directory inclusion is always a separate opt-in. Private and unlisted collections never appear here.
Public libraries will appear here when an owner explicitly enables public visibility and directory listing.
A lasting record for a living collection
No payment details required during beta.
