See my blog post from August 22nd for more information about the ACA (Obamacare).

Replacing Library Cards

When replacing a card in Symphony, it is important that you use the User Lost Card wizard under the Special wizard group.  The User Lost Card wizard will create a second account for the lost card and assign a Lost Card profile to the account.  Although the lost card number will remain on the borrower account as an active and previous ID, the second account with the Lost Card profile will prevent its use for check out.

Do not change the card number under modify user, because the old number remain active along with the new one!!!

Floating

FYI!

We now have three Float Hubs – Kashmere Gardens, Scenic Woods, and Mancuso NLs – who are graciously helping Meyer, Alief, and Kendall redistribute their surplus of returns. Staff at the Float Hubs have been trained to identify good candidate locations to float items to, so please respect their judgment. You will soon be seeing a new yellow Float label on items coming to you from the Float Hubs (*all others still use lime green).
