ShelfBee

See whether a book is available at your library — without leaving the page

you're already on.

ShelfBee adds a small banner to book pages on Amazon, Goodreads, and

TheStoryGraph showing whether that title is available to borrow right now from

the libraries you care about, how many people are waiting, and roughly how long

a hold would take.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Turn on the ShelfBee extension in Safari. The app walks you through it with a

screenshot for every step.

2. Open the bee menu and search for your library by name. Add as many as you

like.

3. Browse as usual. When you land on a book page, ShelfBee checks your libraries

and shows you what it found.

WHAT YOU SEE

• Available now — ready to borrow immediately

• On hold — with the number of people waiting and an estimated wait

• Not available — so you can stop wondering

Results are grouped by library and split by format, so you can tell at a glance

which of your libraries has the ebook and which has the audiobook.

NO ACCOUNT NEEDED

No sign-up, no library card, no sign-in — not even for setup. ShelfBee reads

public availability data, the same catalog information Libby shows, and never

asks who you are.

ONE-TIME PURCHASE

Buy ShelfBee once and it's yours. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads,

and nothing to unlock later.

PRIVACY

ShelfBee collects nothing. Your library choices live on your device and in your

own iCloud account. Book lookups go straight to OverDrive's public availability

API and aren't linked to you. There's no ShelfBee server, no analytics, and no

tracking of any kind.
