LIXON Library is cloud-based library management software delivered as a service. It can help you manage your school library, including the borrowing and returning of books by students. The service was initially developed to support and promote the extensive reading program at BIG BOW English Lab. It has now been extended to be available for other organisations to use, internationally.

• Secure - uses a secure cloud-based environment and communicates using strong encryption.
• Free trial and no lock in contracts - you can stop paying at any time.
• Co-branding - you can upload your organisation's logo and it will be used to co-brand pages.
• Works for most devices and operating systems.
• Gives insight to your data that help make decisions - such as a list of the most popular books, as well as a list of books each individual student has borrowed.
• Self building catalog of your library. No need to enter all your books by hand, start borrowing and let LIXON Library find the book information later.
• Upload your students in one go, no need to enter each by hand.
• Borrowing and returning pages make efficient use of barcode scanning.
• API for programmatic access of borrowed book information.
• Integrates with LINE - parents can inquire about their child's currently borrowed books and class attendance using LIXON Library's LINE messaging bot. The bot can be integrated with a school's own LINE account which allows notifications to be pushed to parents when a student arrives at the school, is marked present in class and departs the school. In addition to this, the bot can communicate in both English and Japanese.
