Manage the hold queue on a library book
A screen recording of Pearspark doing exactly this in a sample school, and the same 5 steps written out below in the labels you'll see on screen.
How to manage the hold queue on a library book
- 1Click Library under Library & resources in the sidebar and open a book (click "Back to library" first if it opens on another tab)
- 2Scroll to the Holds card to see the queue — each hold shows the requester, any needed-by date, and a status badge, oldest first
- 3To add a family to the queue yourself, click Add hold, select the Student, and click Place hold
- 4When a copy comes back, click Check out on that copy in the Copies card, pick the first student in the queue, and click Check out — the copy then shows who has it
- 5Checking the copy out to the student who asked for it (or whose parent asked) closes that hold, so it leaves the queue by itself. To clear a hold nobody will collect, click its trash button — it goes at once, and the toast offers Undo for a few seconds
Part of Library, resources & reservations
Barcode labels you print yourself, a scan station for checkout, holds families place from home, shared equipment reserved with dates instead of arguments — and the textbooks, shelf counts, and supply cupboard that come with all of it.
