As we come to the end of a busy week, we are feeling very hopeful! We truly want to thank you for your patience as you wait for the services that you rely on to be restored. We are feeling optimistic that we will have really good news to share by the end of next week.
Until then, My Account and placing holds remain unavailable and we are asking you to keep your returns at home for just a little longer so we can work through the backlog that is filling our delivery trucks and storage areas beyond our capacity.
This week, public computers and printing and accessible computers were restored at all library locations and holds notifications resumed – over the past three days more than 3,000 holds pick up notices have been sent by email and phone! It’s great to see you come in to pick up your holds!
Late this week we were finally able to start to process the books that we had been manually checking out to you since the outage began. Over the last few days, we have entered 46,445 checkouts into our lending systems, checked in 60,000 items that were in storage and created more than 1,000 new card registrations for those of you who got a library card over the past month!
Again, we’d ask you to please keep your returns at home a little longer. We are getting close to having our lending systems (returns, holds, My account, up to date catalogue) back in service soon!
