HootRated for Schools & Libraries
Teachers: classroom tools are here now — build reading lists, give students a safe sign-in, and track every reader. Librarians: collection-level tools (catalog upload, coverage analysis) are on our roadmap, and we want your input to shape them.

These library-specific features aren't built yet — they're what we're planning next for school and public libraries. Tell us below what would help most. (Looking for classroom tools you can use today? See HootRated for Teachers →)
Student Search
Students search only the books available in your library, filtered by reading level, content intensity, and genre. No more searching the whole internet to find a book that's not on your shelves.
Collection Analysis
Upload your catalog and see your collection's reading level distribution, content intensity breakdown, and gaps in coverage. Know where to invest your book budget.
Librarian Dashboard
See what students search for, which books get checked out, and where demand exceeds supply. Data-driven collection development.
How the library integration would work
Upload your catalog
Export your library's ISBN list from your ILS (Destiny, Alexandria, Follett, etc.) and upload it to HootRated.
We match and rate
We match your ISBNs against our database of 212,014+ rated books and flag any we haven't covered yet.
Students search your library
Students get a custom search page showing only books in your collection, with HootRated's reading level and content ratings.
You get insights
See your collection's reading level and intensity distribution, spot gaps, and understand what students are looking for.
