A story space of your own

Bring your community’s stories together.

A Private Library is a warm, beautifully presented home for books created by your school, early learning centre, charity, or community. You choose what belongs on the shelf and who is invited to read.

Simple and supported

From your first idea to a living library.

01

Set up your library

Lullashelf creates a private library for your organisation and agrees who can manage it.

02

Add approved books

Your nominated account holder uploads approved .lullashelfbook files for members.

03

Share the join code

Give the code only to the families or members who should have access to the shelf.

04

Read in Lullashelf

Members enter the code and their name in the app, then choose which books to download. Saved books appear in All Books and in the organisation's own collection.

For trusted sharing

A library your organisation controls.

Private Libraries let an organisation provide its selected storybooks through Lullashelf without publishing them in the public Lulla Library. Your appointed library manager signs in with their connected Lullashelf account to control uploads and the shared shelf.

Access and moderation

Your approved collection, supported by Lullashelf.

Lullashelf can reset account-holder access, replace member join codes, change library assignments, and remove an uploaded book where moderation or access control requires it.

FAQ

How a Private Library works.

Is a Private Library public?

No. It does not appear in the public Lulla Library. A member needs your library's join code and an active named member record before the app can download its books.

Do shared books use personal book space?

The first download from your Shared Library does not use a member's personal book space. They can read it like any saved Lullashelf book. If they share or export it, the recipient's imported copy uses personal book space.

Who can add books?

The owner and assigned admins can add and rotate books. Published-book capacity starts at 50 books; creating books with Lullashelf is quoted separately.

What happens if a code is shared accidentally?

Lullashelf can issue a replacement member join code so the old code stops granting access.

Can an uploaded book be removed?

Yes. An account holder can remove their uploaded books, and Lullashelf support can moderate and remove library books where required.
