Independent service
About Smart Library Search
Smart Library Search is an independent book discovery service. It is not a library, and it is not an official catalog.
Not authorized, not official
Smart Library Search is not affiliated with, operated by, or endorsed by the library systems or catalog providers referenced on this website. Do not read this site as an authorized or official library search.
What it does
You describe a book in your own words. We help you discover titles from publicly accessible catalog information, then connect you to the library's own website.
Not live availability
Catalog information is for discovery and may not reflect current holdings or availability. We do not say a book is available unless that status was just checked on the library's own catalog.
Official catalog is the source
Discovery onlyFor current availability, location, borrowing rules, and account services, use the library system's own catalog.
Open the library's own catalog
Borrowing and availability stay on each library's website. Search coverage lists which catalogs this service indexes.
