About Library
What the Library module is for, who uses it and the usual order of work.
Library tracks the school's books and who has borrowed them. You add each title once with the number of copies, enrol borrowers as members, then lend and return books at the desk. Insply works out how many copies are free and which loans are overdue.
It is used by school admins and by anyone your school has given library access to.
The usual order of work
- Add your books under Books.
- Add borrowers under Members.
- Lend a book under Lend & return and give it a due period.
- When the book comes back, press Return. Renew it if the borrower needs more time.
- Check Lend & return for overdue loans, and Reports when you need a list.
