Get started with Plumerie

Go to app.plumerielibrary.com and sign in with your Google account, or create an account with your email and a password.

That's it — your library is ready.

You have three ways to add books:

• —Scan a barcode — tap the scan button and point your camera at the barcode on the back of any book. Plumerie pulls the cover, title, author, and details automatically.
• —Search by title — type a title or author name and pick the right edition from the results.
• —Enter manually — if a book isn't in any database, you can add it by hand.

Plumerie lets you track where your books physically live. Create locations like “Living room,” “Bedroom,” “Office,” or “Summer cabin.”

When you add a book, you pick which location it's in. Later, you can filter your library by location to see exactly what's on each shelf.

You can create up to 10 locations on the free plan.

Already have your books listed somewhere else? You can import them.

1. 1.Export your library as a CSV file from your current platform (Goodreads, LibraryThing, or any tool that supports CSV export).
2. 2.In Plumerie, go to Settings and choose "Import from CSV."
3. 3.Upload your file. Plumerie maps your data, pulls cover images, and adds everything to your library.

Some covers may not load automatically — this depends on the book's availability in Google Books and Open Library. You can add covers manually later.

If you want to share your library with your household:

1. 1.Go to Settings → Family.
2. 2.Generate an invite link.
3. 3.Share the link with your family members.
4. 4.They click the link, create an account, and join your shared library.

Everyone in the family sees the same collection. Each person can claim their own locations and switch between a personal view and the full family view.

Lending a book to someone?

1. 1.Open the book's details.
2. 2.Mark it as "Lent."
3. 3.Optionally enter the borrower's name and email.
4. 4.If you enter an email, Plumerie sends them a branded invite. They can create a free account and see the borrowed book in their own library.
5. 5.When the book comes back, either of you can mark it as returned.
