Grace Periods Extended - 7 Days (to accommodate quarantine period)

by Dawne Tortorella

Grace periods have been extended from 0 days to 7 days, and 3 days to 8 days. This change is in effect today, September 16th. Change in grace period fine accrual does not impact fine-free circulation rules. For a complete explanation of this grace period extension, see the news post, Grace Period Update - 7 days<https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2020-09/81046>. Libraries who have delayed return to pre-COVID circulation rules, due to fine accrual while items are in quarantine, may now consider this grace period extension when determining circulation policies for your library. As always, if you wish to review or change any policies, submit a support ticket and we will walk through your policies and adjust as needed. Additional reminder: Restarting hold notifications are still an opt-in. If you have not yet restarted those notifications and wish to, review your Library Services Status<https://support.swanlibraries.net/members/library-services-status> (see Active Notices column). Update any information through the Status Update & Services Request Form<https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/yzt7btkgmo/index.html?1595018812906>.

SWAN Directors & Administrators- I would like to better understand your library's approach to the newly enacted Illinois election holiday on November 3rd. I created a topic in the SWAN Community Forums: https://forums.swanlibraries.net/t/nov-3rd-illinois-election-holiday/697 This is the directors-only portion of the forums, and we created director accounts earlier this year. If you need us to create your account or have questions, refer to the SWAN Support site page which can guide you: https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/71843 Regards, Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 My pronouns: he/him/his SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>
