Per-student borrowing history
How to use
- Fill in the book title, student name, issue date and due date, then tap Issue book.
- When a book comes back, tap Mark returned next to it — it moves to the returned count.
- Overdue books are highlighted in red with a days-overdue count so you know what to chase.
- Pick a student in the history section to see every book they have borrowed.
Note: Records are saved only in this browser with localStorage. The overdue count updates every time you open the page.
Tips
- Set the due date on the day before the next library period so books arrive on time.
- Read out the overdue list at the start of the week — peer reminders work fast.
- Clear old records at the end of the term after saving a printed copy.
