SWAN Member Library Circulation Staff,
Soon after our 2015 migration we encountered a bug where items on the Clean Hold Shelf report had no holds but were being routed to HOLDS at checkin. After extensive investigation alongside SirsiDynix we have determined that an immediate fix is not yet available, but SirsiDynix will continue to investigate. In the meantime, we have provided a workaround<https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/66641> which has been posted to the Known Issues section of the SWAN Support Site. We will update the Known Issue log if, and when, there are any developments.

SWAN Member Library Staff:
We're currently working with SirsiDynix support to investigate reports of intermittent Enterprise outages and issues with loading holdings information. We expect that Enterprise may exhibit outages extending several minutes throughout the morning as we work to resolve the issue.
Thank you for your patience,

Subject: *Important - System Restarting Now* 4/10 WorkFlows Label Templates Unavailable
SWAN Member Libraries -
We've decided to restart the system now prior to our high volume logins to prevent this from being an extended issue. Following the restart, we expect the label templates will be restored.
Offline should not be necessary - the system should be back online within a few minutes.
We'll send an updated SWANcom as soon as the system is back online.

Label templates are currently unavailable in WorkFlows. We have been in contact with SirsiDynix to resolve the issue, but it requires a complete halt of the system to restore them. We expect that the templates will be available for use again tomorrow. You can follow this issue on our support site at https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/66646.

The Symphony WorkFlows server is back online and all services are again accessible.
The issue was caused by a brief hardware outage in the Azure environment. When the issue occurred, automated failover services worked to redeploy our system to another stable environment, where we're now operating.
We'll keep an eye on the system throughout the night and report any further issues if anything comes up.
Thank you for your patience as we worked to investigate the issue.

The Villa Park Public Library will be closed to the public beginning on Tuesday, March 26 and will tentatively reopen Monday, April 15. Visit their website for additional updates. http://www.vppl.info/buildingprojectupdates/
Library staff will be working during this time, but the library items will not be available for holds or circulation during the public closure.
The following thank you and invitation is from Allyson Withers, Library Director, Dolton Public Library District -
I would like to personally thank all of our 'sister-libraries' who have assisted the Dolton Public Library District patrons during our library interior renovation project. The library will be having a Grand Re-Opening for the public and community on Saturday, March 30th, 2019 from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Hopefully, many we be able to come and view the new interior.
Although, library staff will be setting up items and getting acclimated and transitioning to the new library, it will not officially be open for business until Monday, April 8th, 2019.
Again, I would like to thank all my colleagues for their assistance and patience during this period.
Congratulations on the reopening Allyson, Dolton Public Library District staff, and the community. We look forward to seeing you and your library!
