It's that time of year again, and Paging Lists for school member libraries will be turned off as of Monday, April 8, 2019.  Beginning on that date, school library materials will not be holdable until School Paging Lists resume in the fall.

FOR SCHOOL LIBRARIES:

This month's Did You Know explains how you can reinstate a fine if it was paid or waived accidentally. This is optional functionality in Sierra.  It is also tied to a specific permission, so your library can determine which login or logins have permission to reinstate fines. If you need to add this permission to a login, please open a Help Desk ticket.
