Lend and take back books

1. 1

   Open Lending Desk and press Issue Book. Find the pupil or teacher, then the copy by its number.

   

2. 2

   The due date is set from the library’s rules. The loan appears here until the book comes back.

3. 3

   When a book comes back, open its loan and return it. A book returned late is fined by the day; a damaged or lost one stays off the shelf.

The books

Books lists every title and how many copies are on the shelf, out or damaged. Add a title with its author, subject and class, then its copies: each copy gets its own number, so you always know which one is where. Catalogue is what pupils and teachers see when they look for a book.

Overdue books and fines

Overdue loans are marked on the Lending Desk, with how many days late. Fines (on the Lending Desk) lists what each borrower owes; record a payment when it is paid, or waive a fine with a reason. Library Settings holds the rules: how many books at once, for how long, the fine per day, and the amount owed at which borrowing stops.
