Email to Librarian on check out

Hi - we house our library in someone's home. I'd like to allow self check that would generate an email to the librarian to bring that book to the next meeting. Is something like that possible?

Hi there! Any patron actions done in a TinyCat library, including the self "Check out" and/or "Place hold" buttons should send a notification to the admin email on the account (the "Main Contact" at https://www.librarycat.org/admin/settings/contactsettings), so this should technically work for you.

Further information, if you need it: to enable self-checkout, you'll need to enable patron accounts on TinyCat. There's one of two types of patron accounts you can have: either Simple Circulation, where all the patrons share one common password, or Full Circulation, where each patron gets their own login. You can enable patron accounts from your Patron Account Settings on your TinyCat's Admin portal: https://www.librarycat.org/admin/settings/patronaccounts (Help page here: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/TinyCat:_Settings_%C2%BB_Patron_Accounts..., and you can enable your "Check out" and/or "Place hold" buttons from your Circulation Settings: https://www.librarycat.org/admin/settings/circsettings (Help page here: https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/TinyCat:_Settings_%C2%BB_Circulation). You can also check out our Tiny Tutorials covering these features on LibraryThing's YouTube channel, as well: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHdpcxqVcUR4rXciaInacPQ

I hope this helps!
