Lightwave Library is the only Koha ILS vendor with a fully available, production-ready support package for Texas Senate Bill 13—available today!
Texas Senate Bill 13 requires school libraries to implement clear, transparent processes for managing parental control over minor patrons' circulation lists. Our package offers automated parent request processing and administrative backend workflows.
An easy, secure entry point for parents and Advisory Committee members. Designed with privacy and compliance at its core, this interface allows quick card authentication.
The central dashboard where parent users manage their household details. It presents cards for each linked child, summaries of checkouts, active restrictions, and highlights district-wide board bans for transparency.
Parents can search catalog items in real-time and place individual restriction requests on specific books. The workflow requires confirming the child's card number, preventing errors and ensuring full consent.
A clear table displaying all parental restrictions placed on a child's account. This list directly links to the library ILS backend, raising automated checkout alerts for staff at circulation desks in real time.
A powerful back-end interface for the School Library Advisory Committee (SLAC). Triage workflows flag parental restriction requests and allow the board to review and apply global district-wide catalog exclusions.
Ensure complete alignment with State requirements while offering parents peace of mind. Contact our migration and compliance experts today to get started.
