Student data deserves more than a checkbox.

Import your catalog and rosters, and export everything back out at any time, in standard formats. No lock-in, no ransom for your own records.

Lyra operates as a “school official” under FERPA’s exception and is built for COPPA’s stricter under-13 protections. Education records are used only for the purposes your school authorizes.

Vega and semantic search work over collection metadata and aggregate stats only. Patron names, IDs, emails, and individual borrowing history are excluded from AI requests, enforced in code rather than policy alone.

Application data is hosted with AWS and Neon in the United States, encrypted at rest. Circulation history stays private to your staff and is never sold.

Staff accounts come in 3 roles: admin, standard, and limited. Limited restricts what patron details and circulation data a person can see, which suits volunteers and aides. Staff sign in with Google or Microsoft, so accounts follow the systems your school already manages.

Every subprocessor that touches your school's data is listed publicly, and we give at least 30 days’ notice by email before that list changes, unless the change is required for security or compliance. Our DPA and privacy terms are published here, with no NDA required to read them.
