8-Year-Old Madison Gives Enthusiastic, Inspiring Speech About Books

Click on the image to go to the video from Huffington Post 

"What would the world be like without books? They fuel our mind like cars and gas. The cars can't go without gas, our brains can't go without books. The world needs books! We need books."

Reports – Who borrowed books today?

When you need to see what happened at the circulation desk for a day (or range of days) use the Copy Transaction Data report found in the Statistics area under the Library Reports tab. Enter the date(s), put a check in the box to Include Patron Data then click Extract. 


The report is in xml format. Save the report with a user friendly name. Open Excel, then open the saved xml report as a read-only workbook. 


The columns include everything you’d ever need! Titles, barcodes, patrons, a time stamp, even what kind of transaction. Sort by column headers to group transaction types. To learn more about working with xml reports, read this.
