LibraryShare for Koha
Library-managed peer lending using native Koha accounts and circulation.
LibraryShare lets patrons list items they own and lend them to other library members. The plugin connects listings, requests, pickup arrangements, checkout, and return to Koha's catalog and circulation system, with staff tools for agreements, moderation, branding, and reporting.
Who it's for
Libraries operating a community-sharing service and patrons lending personal items.
How it works
Configure the sharing service, sign in through the library catalog, and list an item. Another patron requests it; the owner accepts and arranges pickup, with checkout and return handled through Koha circulation.

- Patron item listings, photos, and profiles
- Requests and branch-aware pickup scheduling
- Native Koha catalog records, checkout, and check-in
