Using the Patron Card Creator Tool

Koha has the ability to create patron cards.

Create a patron card creator layout:

This is what your library would like printed on the actual card for the patron. This can include up to 3 lines of text, barcode of patron, card number, and an image.

Create a batch of patrons to use in the card creator:

The library can choose to add individual patron borrower numbers to a text box provided, search in the database for the patron’s name or add patrons from a list in Koha.

Here are examples of the cards that are created during the tutorial video.
