Circulate is built by librarians, for librarians. We believe every library deserves modern tools regardless of budget. Use it free, donate if you can.
All features included. No limits, no premium tiers. If Circulate helps your library, consider supporting its development with a donation.
Libraries serve everyone. So should the tools that power them.
Every library gets every feature. No artificial restrictions.
Your support helps us improve Circulate for all libraries.
See Circulate in action. We'll walk you through every feature.
