The Reading Cloud has enabled our pupils to take a greater measure of control over their reading and borrowing from the library and helped them to share their enthusiasm with each other.

Everything you need to manage your library smoothly and efficiently
Reading Cloud provides everything you’d expect from a leading library management system to save you time and effort day to day, such as issue and returns, catalogue search, reservations and reminders functionality and dashboard reporting but that’s not all.
Our library management systems are easy to set up, install and use. You can integrate Reading Cloud with your student management information system, with Accelerated Reader and our cloud-based packages are easily accessible from anywhere at any time.
The next level – supporting you in promoting reading for pleasure
Reading Cloud is a leading library management system with a difference. It has a truly engaging interactive online reading community for students, to help promote reading for pleasure, raise literacy standards, develop information literacy skills and encourage positive attitudes to reading.
Reading Cloud goes hand in glove with the UKLA’s mission to advance education in literacy: it supports both reading and writing skills and addresses the social and emotional aspects of a reading experience.
