New art gallery on the 4 kids website

Mikayla aged 13

I've made a few changes to the 4 kids site including the expansion of the 4 kids art gallery to it's own page.


If you've got kids that like to draw and want to send me a drawing I'll scan it and upload it to the 4 kids website for everyone to see.

You'll also notice that I've added information for storytimes, toddlertime and tinytots to the 4 kids page. It's the one palce to go for kid's activities

Report has finished, records are unlocked and you can place holds

I just got back from the long weekend and caught up with the news that the report that was causing grief on Friday finished at 8:02PM on Friday night. This means there is no longer an issue with locking records and you can get back to placing holds.

All items that were returned on Friday will have been checked in and back dated to that date so there are no charges.

Sorry for any inconvenience

Cheers, Maryanne
