Handling Snow Days and Other Unexpected Closures

For snow days, weather days, or any other unexpected library closures, you'll want to handle them in the same way as holidays (or regularly scheduled closed days) in Surpass, except you'll set them up retroactively. Go to Settings : Circulation : Calendar and click on each day the library was closed to mark it as closed. This will mean that any items that would have normally been due on the closed day will instead be due on the next subsequent open library day, so overdue fines will not be assessed and items will not be considered overdue if they are returned on the day that the library reopens.

Note that changes like this do not affect items that have already been checked in, so make sure that you go to Settings : Circulation : Calendar and mark your closed day(s) as soon as you return to reopen the library, before you begin checking items in.
