SilverStripe Simple Library Module
==================================

[](#silverstripe-simple-library-module)

Still in early alpha phase. Leans heavily on modeladmin but there's Issue/Return/Renew forms on the front end.

A lot to still do before it's usable - anyone who is keen to help develop contact me.

- Integrates with Google Books API for easy addition of books.
- Supports multiple holding of each resource (Book/CD/DVD etc...)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

As per usual - composer name is howardgrigg/simple-library To use the Google Books API get an API key from  then set `Resource::$googlebooksapi_key = "";` in your config.
