An Update from us on COVID-19

by Jessie Zairo on Mar 23, 2020

At ByWater Solutions we're working to help you get your libraries set and patrons informed. Here are some best practices and notes we thought might be helpful as you communicate with your patrons and community.

• Preparing for Library Closures. As communities are experiencing a difficult time due to the COVID-19 virus, our educators have prepared information to help get your Koha system ready. You can read the full blog post here.

• Town Hall Preparing for a Library Closure. ByWater Solutions hosted a town hall early last week to answer questions our partners had concerning COVID-19 and library closures. You can watch the On-Demand Recording here.

• Set items to quarantine status upon return. During our town hall, several partners mentioned that their libraries are quarantining returned items for several days before they're allowed to circulate again. Andrew has sketched out a way to make Koha help with that. Read the blog post with all the details.

ByWater Solutions is here to help.

If you or your staff need any assistance, please submit a ticket, call 888-900-8944, or jump on SLACK and ask a question. We are here to help.
