9Library Admin: Library Management Software

9Library Admin is a software service for owners of study libraries and self-study centres. It runs as an Android app and as a web app at admin.9lib.in. Students use the separate free 9Library Student app. 9Library only provides the software. The library owner enters and manages all student data and collects student fees directly.

Students

• Add students manually, import many at once from a CSV file (template provided), or accept seat requests from the Student app or your public booking page.
• Student profile: name, phone, email, father name and phone, address, exam being prepared for, photo and optional documents.
• Pending requests screen with one-tap accept or reject, and a warning if a seat was taken while you were offline.

Seats and shifts

• Floor-wise interactive seat map showing free and occupied seats.
• Morning, Evening and Full Day shifts, with automatic shift collision checks so two students cannot clash on one seat.
• Locker option per student. Create many seats at once from a range such as A1 to A30.

Fees and receipts

• Custom plans with your own names and prices, plus a default price, locker add-on, one-time admission fee and grace period.
• Pending and advance amounts per student, and payment history.
• Records payments received in Cash, Google Pay, PhonePe or Bank Transfer with UTR numbers. The app records payments; it does not collect money from students.
• Receipts as PDF: print, share on WhatsApp, or send to the student app.
• Cashbook with inflow and outflow, search by name, seat, UTR or transaction ID, and filters by month, year or custom range. GST settings are available.

Expenses and analytics

• Expense tracker with categories and notes.
• Dashboard with students, revenue, pending fees and occupancy.
• Insights: best performing period, average daily revenue, expense ratio, profit margin, Top 5 and Bottom 5 seats.
• PDF and CSV reports, and full JSON data backup export.

Attendance and live monitoring

• Students check in and out by scanning the library QR code. Location and nearby Wi-Fi are used to confirm the student is inside the library.
• See who is inside right now, daily attendance and study time.

Communication and public page

• In-app chat with students, so students do not need to share personal phone numbers. Abusive users can be blocked.
• Announcements to students, and automatic fee reminder notifications to the student app.
• Public booking page you can share on WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook. Visitors see your library details, facilities and prices and send a seat request after email OTP verification.

Security and reliability

• Local data is stored in an AES-256 encrypted database. Android app uses certificate pinning, secure key storage and blocks rooted devices and emulators.
• Optional 4-digit PIN lock, offline use with cloud sync, and account deletion from inside the app.
• No system is completely secure; see our Privacy Policy.

Pricing

Pre-paid monthly pass, no auto-renewal, and you can pay up to 6 months in advance. Introductory pricing starts from Rs 399 per month and may vary with your library seat capacity. A free trial may be available for new libraries. You can pay in two ways: tap pay to open any UPI app directly with the amount filled in, or pay yourself and enter the UTR (reference) number in the app. A UTR submission is verified by us before your pass is renewed, so renewal is not instant in that case. See Terms and Refund Policy.
