Print a library card

Learn how to print various types of library cards for customers.

There are several ways to print a customer's library card in Wise. Some libraries work with cards on which the barcode is pre-printed and customer data is added. Other organizations create a complete card for each customer.

To print a card or label for a card, go to Customer > Print customer materials > Library card.

The following templates are available for library cards:

Print cards with pre-printed barcodes

If your library uses library cards that are pre-printed with barcodes, you will use a slightly different method for adding a new customer.

  1. Go to Customer > Add new customer.
  2. In the Customer-ID field, enter P and press enter. A message will appear: Print on the card first?
  3. Select Yes.
  4. Enter the customer's name, birth date and ZIP code information.
  5. Click OK, Continue. A confirmation message appears: Print on the card first?
  6. Click Yes. A selection screen appears.
  7. Select the template for the card you want to print and click OK. The new card will be printed and a final message will appear with a notification that the card is ready.
