Bookflicks

For primary teachers

A class library app your children actually want to use

Bookflicks turns the books already sitting on your classroom shelves into a scrollable, Netflix-style book corner. Children pick a book, check it out on the class tablet or laptop, and you get a clear record of who has what.

What it does

  • Pre-loaded books for every year group. Year 1 to Year 6 shelves come ready with recommended titles, covers and blurbs — you only add what's specific to your room.
  • Children check books in and out themselves. No teacher admin, no clipboard, no missing-book mystery at the end of term.
  • Reviews and star ratings. Children recommend books to each other, which is what actually drives reading choices in a classroom.
  • Class QR code sign-in. Scan the printed poster and the class library opens — no child accounts, no passwords, no email addresses.
  • Teacher dashboard. See who is reading, who has stalled, most-loved books and overdue titles at a glance.

How it compares to a paper book corner

A shelf and a sign-out sheet works right up until half the sheet goes missing. Bookflicks keeps the physical books exactly where they are — on your shelves — and moves only the browsing and the borrowing record onto a screen. Children still handle real books; you just stop losing track of them.

Safe by design

Children never create accounts. There are no child email addresses, no photos and no personal data beyond a first name and, if you choose, a class avatar. Access to a class needs the class code (and an optional PIN), and class pages are excluded from search engines.

Setting it up

Create a free teacher account, add your school and class, and the year-group shelves are populated instantly. Add extra titles by ISBN lookup or bulk upload, print the class QR poster, and your children can start browsing the same day.

Try Bookflicks with your class

Set up your class library in minutes — books are pre-loaded for every year group, and children browse and check out titles themselves.
