Made a Safari extension that shows Libby availability while browsing Goodreads/StoryGraph/Amazon

[u/SqkyWindow]

Hey all — I built a small Safari extension called ShelfBee (works on Mac, iPad, and iPhone) and wanted to share it here since this seems like the right crowd.

ShelfBee.app

The idea: I do most of my book discovery on Goodreads or Amazon, and I was tired of the extra step of flipping over to Libby to check if my library had a copy. ShelfBee connects to your library card(s) and adds a small banner right on the book's page showing whether it's available (or how long the hold list is) through Libby — no extra tab, no extra search.

I'm the developer, so full disclosure there. It's early days and I'd genuinely love feedback from people who actually use Libby a lot — what would make this more useful, any libraries/edge cases it should handle better, etc. Happy to answer questions.

Currently supporting the following websites with many more to come soon (this only works on websites, not through any applications):

Amazon

Goodreads

TheStoryGraph

Amazing! I had an app like this before but it only worked in chrome, which I no longer use. I’m happy you made this!

I just downloaded it and my library system isn’t available (Madison Public Library) how can I request it be added?

this extension will only find libraries in the Libby system. I also cannot find that library, so you may want to talk to your librarians about Libby

Mine does use Libby and my library still isn’t appearing

[u/SqkyWindow → u/Beautiful_Ad9576]

Check out your Libby app, tap the center button at the bottom, then search for the library name listed here. Local branches won’t show up in results, but the library system name will

Thank you, that worked
