Book Clubs

Do you manage your Book Clubs in KLAS? This feature makes it easy to keep track of your Book Clubs' reading lists, send out the latest selection to every member, and to know how many additional copies need to be duplication for them.

Here's how it works:

1. Create Book Club Reserve Type – Most likely this is already done. If you're adding your first Book Club though, let us know and we'll handle creating the Reserve Type.


2. Create a Book Club code – Each new Book Club must be created in Code Maintenance. Again, we're happy to assist with setting up the new club.


3. Sign Patrons up for the Book Club – In the Patron Module, launch Book Club Maintenance from the Tools menu. Select the correct Book Club in the dropdown, then add patrons by Patron ID. OR you can add the Book Club to the Patron's Preferences.


4. Add Title to the Book Club – In Book Club Maintenance, switch to the Titles tab. Add the next book club pick by KLAS ID. OR you can add the Title to the Book Club from the Catalog.


5. Add copies to the Book Club Titles – As you duplicate copies to fill the outstanding Book Club reserves, add them just as you would add copies when receiving new books. The new copies will automatically be assigned to the Book Club patrons ahead of any other reserve type.
