The Challenge

The library serves a vast desert province whose branches are hundreds of kilometres apart, and readers had to travel just to check whether a book was available or to register.

The AI Solution

We built a trilingual site connected to the catalogue, with remote book reservations, registration and hall booking, full accessibility tools, and an in-library kiosk that answers "where is my book?".

What we built

What the client and their visitors can do with the platform today.

  • Online catalogue

    Search the collection by title, author or ISBN, and reserve a book remotely.

  • 3D reading shelf

    An interactive 3D shelf of the latest titles; touch a book to open it.

  • Digital reader card

    Online registration and a QR card used for borrowing and computer access.

  • Local authors space

    A directory of Adrar's writers and poets and their works, with a form to suggest an author.

  • Assistant and kiosk

    An AI assistant on the site, and an in-library kiosk that answers "where is my book?".

  • FennecOpac app

    An Android app to search the catalogue, reserve books and carry the digital card.
