Submission: More configurable courtesy notices in Sierra

“Library staff members submitted several great ideas on how we can enhance Sierra so our libraries can improve their services to library users,” said Mike Dicus, Sierra Product Owner. “I’m excited to add these features to Sierra, as they will provide patrons with more timely and useful information when they are using their local libraries.”
Remember, submissions live on in Idea Lab and our Always Open Space never closes. If you submitted an enhancement that is still important to you or you’ve just discovered a development opportunity, the Always Open space provides a place to post that idea for any Sierra product.
