We are on a mission to transform library management and encourage reading for pleasure across your whole school community. Engaging students and parents alike, we provide the tools to nurture a positive reading culture that leaves no child behind.

The story behind Reading Cloud

Originally known as Micro Librarian Systems, our company was first established in 1981 to provide market leading library management systems to schools and colleges in the UK and internationally.
Reading Cloud marks the next evolution in our offering from our beloved Junior Librarian and Eclipse brands.

Our mission is to help schools nurture a culture of reading for pleasure

Customer feedback is at the heart of Reading Cloud. We prioritise listening to our customers’ recommendations and suggestions to continuously enhance our platform. This allows us to tailor our solution to meet the dynamic needs of schools just like yours.

Did you know we're MIS agnostic?

At Reading Cloud, we integrate with any and every school MIS system.

Integration is even easier with Intake by Wonde, an automated student provisioning service, that synchronises data between your management information system (MIS) and our library management solution. 

With Intake, you can effortlessly and securely upload your student databases to Reading Cloud from your MIS on a daily basis.

Why schools love Reading Cloud

“Reading Cloud makes you proud of what you can collectively achieve using the platform. It’s fantastic for issuing and returning books, and for promoting reading with all the functionality on the homepage.”

Annette Jones

Rougemont School

“Reading Cloud is an invaluable tool. The simplicity, and child-friendly nature allows pupils the opportunity to become junior librarians. It also provides valuable data to help us keep our young learners motivated in reading.”

Lesley Maxwell

Swinton Primary School

“Students take books out of the library themselves so it’s promoting independence, but it also allows the teacher to be freed up to chat to children about their books rather than dealing with all the admin.”

Jenny Birse

Banchory Primary School

A single platform powered by multiple trusted partners

We are proud to work with industry leading businesses and charities to deliver the very best in library management to you and your students.
