Question: How do I delete borrowers? The Eighth grade graduated in June 2017 and I want to remove their names as well as some other children who have transferred to other schools. I will do this later in the school year.

Answer: Define advanced search to display only Eighth grade students. Click Miscellaneous, and click Delete All Borrowers. The system will delete only displayed borrowers. Before executing Delete All create a backup of your library databases.
