## Library

Issue, return, fines on school days. A holiday week never puts a child in debt.

How it works

## The library desk, without the register.

Each book is written once, at the desk. Here is a loan, start to finish.

### At the library desk

- **Add your books.** Scan the ISBN and the title fills in, or bring in your list as a CSV.

- **Issue a book.** Scan the child’s ID card and the book. The due date lands on a school day.

- **Take it back.** Late school days, after your grace days, make the fine, up to your cap.

- **See what is out,** by student, overdue first.

### Rules that fit a school

Two books for 14 days for students and ten for 30 days for staff, unless you change it. Set an all-books-back date before the session ends.

### Lost books, settled properly

A lost book is charged at its cost plus a fee, on the fee receipt. If it turns up, the charge drops, or becomes a refund due.

### Before a TC

Books still out show on the child’s record, and the [TC](https://scoolin.com/features/certificates) warns before it is issued.

**Still have questions?** Ask us on a [30-minute call](https://scoolin.com/demo) .

### Fines

### Are fines on from the start?

No. Switch them on, set the amount and grace days, and choose whether staff pay them.

### Numbers

### How are books numbered?

By accession number, with your own prefix if you like. A number is never used twice.

### Overdue

### Can a child with an overdue book borrow another?

Not without a note. Overdue books or unpaid charges block a loan unless the librarian overrides it with a reason.

### Registers

### Can we print the issue register?

Export it as a spreadsheet. Printed registers and spine labels are coming.
