LibCal makes booking on the go a breeze! Users can reserve spaces or equipment, schedule appointments, or register for events from any device.

LibCal seamlessly integrates with LibAuth, our authentication layer, enabling libraries to fine-tune and customize access permissions so only students or staff with verified accounts can make appointments or book rooms.

Students and staff can browse availability, book rooms, and check in on tablets mounted outside your library's bookable spaces or at designated booking kiosks.
