Smarter Staff Rosters for Public Libraries
Create clear, editable staff rosters and improve desk coverage across library branches and departments.
LibraryRoster™ is an independent scheduling and roster-building platform created for public library teams. It is not affiliated with Springshare or LibStaffer.
From a sample schedule to a clean roster.
A simple roster workspace for small and mid-sized public libraries.
1. Upload a sample schedule
Bring in an existing Excel or CSV schedule you already use — no rebuilding from scratch.
2. Convert it into a roster
LibraryRoster™ turns the file into a clean, editable staff roster you can review and adjust.
3. Edit and publish
Update names, shifts, desk assignments, breaks, and notes. Export or share when it's ready.
Everything you need to build a branch roster.
Import an existing schedule
Bring in the schedule your library already uses and get a workable draft roster.
Organize staff by branch or department
Group staff by branch, department, or both — matching how your library actually staffs desks.

Review intelligent scheduling suggestions
Receive intelligent coverage suggestions for administrator review — never automatic staffing decisions.

Adjust names, shifts, desks, and notes, then publish an approved roster for your team.
Simple by design

Built by a Librarian
LibraryRoster™ was created by a public library professional with 20 years of library experience to help branches and departments turn existing schedules into cleaner, editable rosters faster.
From Schedule Chaos to Clear Coverage
Before
Staff schedules are managed in Excel, PDFs, or shared files, making edits, desk coverage, and updates hard to track.
After
