QR codes for
library book resources.

Choose the destination

Link to a maintained catalog or reading-guide page. Choose an institutional URL that can survive staff changes rather than a personal account link.

Place it where people can scan

Place the label where it does not obscure bibliographic information or bend over the spine. Test it through the actual protective cover.

Make this template your own

The generator is set to website url with the caption “EXTRA READING.” Its sample content is illustrative. Replace it, read the encoded content back and download your preferred print file. The code stores your final content directly, so check spelling and destination ownership before committing it to a physical item.

The distance shown above is a chosen planning example, not a measured limit for this use case. REHAU's distance-to-width rule gives a starting point. DENSO WAVE's module and margin guidance adds the print-density check. Use the calculator with your actual QR version and expected printer resolution; a dense payload may need a larger symbol than the distance rule alone suggests.

Check the real-world result

Keep the destination accessible from outside the library network if readers will use it at home. Provide a short catalog reference as a non-camera alternative.

Keep the full blank border around the code. Recheck it after putting the image into the final layout, because resizing, cropping and export settings can change the result. Save the approved artwork and the exact payload together so a later reprint can be compared with the original.
