Closing a Branch for a Day (Unplanned / Emergency Closure)#

Use this guide to update NPL website properties when a branch closes on the spur of the moment (HVAC out, plumbing not working, etc.).

Library Website#

MarCom will add an alert to the library website. Shared Systems doesn't need to make any updates to the website for a one-day closure.

LibCal#

All LibCal updates are handled by staff at the affected location, not Shared Systems.

  • Meeting Rooms: Branch Managers cancel meeting room bookings.
  • Appointments (Book a Librarian):
  • Each staff person offering appointments will cancel any appointments they have scheduled for the day.
  • Events (NECAT Only): NECAT staff will cancel events listed in LibCal for the affected day(s). If patrons are registered for an event, NECAT staff will send a cancelation email for the affected events.

Bedework#

See instructions for Bedework Cancelations or Rescheduling.

Google, Bing, Yelp#

We do not update Google, Bing, or Yelp, for unplanned/emergency closures.
