Free Printable Library Book Tracker: Keep Tabs on Your Reads
Are you a book lover who loves to stay organized? I have just the thing for you! Introducing my Library Book Tracker Printable, designed to help you keep track of all the books you borrow and lend.
Whether you're managing your personal reading list or lending books to friends and family, this printable is perfect for staying on top of due dates and ensuring nothing gets lost in the shuffle.
I’ve created two options to suit your needs.
The first option is perfect for your personal reading list. It includes columns for loan date, book title, due date, and a handy checkbox to mark when the book is returned.
The second option is perfect for those who lend out their books to others. It includes columns for loan date, borrower’s name, book title, due date, and a checkbox for returned.
Each option comes with 8 pages in a beautiful rainbow of colors, making organization not only functional but also fun and visually appealing.
How to Use the Library Book Tracker
Using the Library Book Tracker is simple and can help you stay organized with your reading habits and book loans. Here’s a step-by-step guide to make the most out of your printable:
✨ Choose Your Tracker
Start by selecting the library book tracker that best suits your needs. If you primarily want to keep track of the books you borrow from the library, opt for the first option with columns for the loan date, book title, due date, and returned checkbox.
If you lend books to friends and family, the second option with the borrower’s name included will be ideal.
✨ Print Your Tracker
Print out the pages of your chosen tracker. With 8 pages available in a rainbow of colors, you can use all the colors for a vibrant, varied look or stick to your favorite shades.
✨ Record Loan Information
When you borrow a book, fill in the loan date, book title, and due date. Use the checkbox to mark the book as returned once you’ve returned it to the library.
If you’re lending a book, fill in the loan date, borrower’s name, book title, and due date. This will help you keep track of who has your books and when they’re due back.
✨ Update Regularly
At the start of each week or month, review your tracker to see which books are due soon. This helps you plan your reading schedule and reminds you to follow up with borrowers if needed.
Each time you borrow or lend a book, promptly add the information to your tracker. This will help you avoid forgetting due dates or losing track of borrowed books.
✨ Tips for Effective Tracking:
Set Reminders: Use your phone or calendar to set reminders for due dates to ensure you return books on time.
Communicate: If you lend books to others, communicate the importance of returning them by the due date to avoid any misunderstandings.
Stay Consistent: Make a habit of updating your tracker as soon as you borrow or lend a book to keep it accurate and helpful.
By following these steps, you can easily manage your library books and book loans, ensuring a well-organized and stress-free reading experience.

SUPPLIES I RECOMMEND FOR PRINTING
A PRINTER
If you’re going to be printing in color, I really recommend investing in an HP Instant Ink-compatible printer. The quality of the finished product is amazing! If you don’t need a color printer, I highly recommend a laser printer like the Brother L23 Series. You will save hundreds on ink. You can also get a color laser printer which I would LOVE to have!
PAPER
For everyday printables, planners, and coloring pages for the kiddos I normally use Hammermill Printer Paper, 20 Lb. I love that you can get a small box of 3 reams instead of having to buy one at a time or a whole case of 10.
If I want something a little nicer, I use this laser paper which is incredibly smooth and has very little to no ghosting on the other side. This is perfect if you like to use pens/markers that are prone to bleeding through to the other side.
For printing on A5 paper, I use this Blank 6-Hole Punched A5 Paper. You can also get it without the holes but it’s $6-7 more. Which I think is odd because it’s usually the other way around and you have to pay more for the hole punching.
If you're printing a binder cover that is fade-resistant and lasts a long time, I would recommend the best paper using Epson Presentation paper. It's heavy like cardstock (48 lb), is great when laminated, and is made to last for decades.
