The job
Less admin, faster desk shifts, clearer handover
Toy libraries need software that respects volunteer time. The first version of this website should make the value obvious, then leave room for final copy, screenshots, and proof points once they are ready.
Share catalogue work
A shared toy database means the next library benefits when one library improves toy details, warnings, or piece lists.
Manage real households
Support family memberships, multiple adults, member QR codes, renewals, waivers, and online self-service.
Handle payments cleanly
Record memberships, renewals, overdue fees, receipts, and online payments without extra spreadsheets.
Shared catalogue
Add a toy once. Let every library benefit.
The public catalogue is already available and should become one of the site's strongest proof points. The first pass can link directly into browse and search while richer catalogue storytelling is added later.

Migration can be a first-class story
SeTLS, MiBase, and spreadsheet migration need their own focused path. For now, this section sets expectations and points serious libraries to the migration page.
Plan a migrationTry it without a long sales flow
The scaffold supports two clear paths: a demo library for quick inspection and a trial library for people ready to create a workspace.
Questions
Answer the blockers early
These are scaffold answers, ready to be tightened once the final offer and copy are known.
Can we migrate from SeTLS or MiBase?
That is the intent. The site scaffolding points libraries toward a migration conversation while the import details and final support offer are confirmed.
Do volunteers need special scanners?
No. The product direction is phone-first, using camera-based scanning for QR and barcode workflows where the browser supports it.
Can members pay online?
The platform is designed around online renewals and payment records, with payment processing details handled separately from plan pricing.
Is the toy catalogue public?
The global catalogue is already public. Library-specific public pages and richer catalogue publishing can be layered onto this website structure.
Placeholder: Final name, screenshots, testimonials, exact pricing, and polished launch copy are intentionally punted. This page should still feel complete enough to navigate and assess the product shape.
