How it works

Adding a library and scanning its books

A one-minute walkthrough recorded at a real Arlington library: checking in with your phone's location, then scanning book barcodes to put the shelf online.

This video was recorded on the previous version of the site, so the screens look different today. The steps are the same.

1. At the library, tap “I'm at a library”.
2. New library? Add a photo and a name: 50 points.
3. Scan the barcode on the back of each book: 5 points for each new one.
