Company
Librar Labs
Intelligence for cultural institutions
We are building an AI-native operating system for libraries, starting with public and school libraries in the literature sector. Our product automates tedious, repetitive tasks that librarians currently spend hours on, freeing them to spend more time helping patrons. It centrally organizes collections, automates cataloging, and surfaces actionable insights to improve library operations.
We are not based in any one location yet. After YC, we will base the company where it makes the most sense to grow quickly and hire top talent.
Since we are remote for now, we prioritize flexibility and ability to attract the right team. YC will help us clarify the best location for scaling.
