Home Keeper Library

Home Keeper Library is a Home Assistant integration for the books of a household. It records the rooms and shelves of the home, the books and their copies, the reading status of each person, the loans and a wishlist.

Home Keeper Library requires Home Keeper. Install and set up Home Keeper first. The library adds a Library tab to the Home Keeper panel.
