Decodable Readers

The Library Foundation funded the addition of some decodable readers for the Junior Readers Collection. They will be in bags, like the other red readers, and they will have eye-readable barcodes and JPL stickers on the back of each book in the bag.

The tag will list how many books should be in the bag and have a scannable barcode. At check-in,  you will count the books in the bag and double-check the barcodes to make sure the correct books stay with the set.

If a bag is returned without a tag, you can type the eye-readable barcode from a book in the check-in screen to check it in and put the item into repair where repair staff can look up the number of books to verify that the set is complete and create a new tag for the bag.
