All you need to do is upload your reading recommendations in minutes. Then, it’s up to your student’s parents to log in and take a more active role in their child’s reading through WiseOwl.

Librarians

How is WiseOwl connected to my library system?
WiseOwl will layer on top of any library system or connect to it through an API.
What’s the process when a child checks out a book?
WiseOwl makes it simple for librarians. When a student tries to check out a book, cross-check with WiseOwl. If there are no reading preferences indicated, they are clear to check out any book. Simply scan the book they are attempting to check out. If the student has questions regarding why they aren’t allowed to check out a book, refer to the tips on your screen.
