Hold shelf

All staff who weed the hold shelf please familiarize yourself with the following:
Library IT have made a change to Horizon which affects how hold expiry dates are calculated when the Library is closed.
Currently holds that would have expired on a closed day are set to expire on the next open day. An example of this is a hold that would have expired on Queen’s Birthday will be set to expire on Tuesday. The change that we have made means that holds will receive one additional day for every day the library is closed before the hold expires. Using the same Queen’s Birthday example, holds that would have been due to expire on the Tuesday, would get an extra day, and expire on the Wednesday.
