+A library for collecting baseball statistics from
+[Baseball Reference](https://www.baseball-reference.com).
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> brlib is in beta, breaking changes are possible until the release of version 1.
+
+## Key Features
+
+* `Game`, `Player`, and `Team` classes give you easy access to all associated data in one place,
+  with attributes for stat tables and other information.
+* Aggregate these into `GameSet`, `PlayerSet`, or `TeamSet` classes, which have similar attributes,
+  for easy analysis of larger samples.
+* Easily search for games, players, and teams, and gather their stats.
+* Quickly collect data without violating the
+  [rate limit](https://www.sports-reference.com/429.html).
+
+Learn more by reading the documentation on the [wiki](https://github.com/john-bieren/brlib/wiki).
+

+
+brlib can be installed using pip:
+
+```
+pip install brlib
+```

+```
+
+If you've cloned the repo, you can also install the development dependencies:
+
+```
+pip install --group dev
+```
+
+Once installed, you can import brlib into your Python scripts:
