Handy Library Manager

Handy Library Manager is a super helpful app that helps you keep everything in your library organized. Whether you are managing your books or tracking loans and returns, this software has got you covered!

Easy Management of Your Library

So, first things first—you will need to install and launch the app as an administrator because it manages a database. Don’t worry; the interface is really user-friendly! You will see several tabs like the main report tab, add items or borrowers, backup, maintenance, and even a table for viewing and editing.

Accessing Information Made Simple

If you want more info on loans or borrowers, just head over to the dedicated tab. And if something is missing? No sweat! The app lets you open a new window to fill in any extra details.

A Few Quirks to Note

One thing to keep in mind is that when you access a new function, it opens in full screen. This can be a bit annoying since you can’t go back to the previous window until you close it. But hey, nothing’s perfect!

Stay Updated with Reports

The best part about Handy Library Manager is all the reports it can generate for you. These reports keep you updated on loans, borrowers, members, and inventory—plus how many copies are left!

Detailed Logs at Your Fingertips

The logs are super detailed too! They include info like title, author, type of book, copy number, barcode, and even the borrower's phone number. If someone is late returning a book, you can easily send them a reminder via email or give them a call.

Book Reservations Made Easy

You will also find that the program allows reservations for book copies in your inventory—perfect if you're working with schools or colleges.

Print Reports & Labels Efficiently

You can print various reports about loaned books and overdue ones based on borrowers. This way, you will know exactly what action to take against anyone who is late with their returns.

Simplify Your Data Entry Process

Plus, there is an option to print labels containing ID numbers, titles, and authors. This feature really speeds up data entry time—especially handy during busy periods like back-to-school season!

Handy Library Manager offers loads of useful functions that help with both inventory management and keeping track of your borrowers. If you are looking for an easy way to manage your library activities efficiently, give this software a try!
