[Systems Librarians] Hours and holiday updates in CARLI ALMA because vs overdues.

[Jennifer Stubbs]

Would I use the EVENT description (from below) for "Thanksgiving" or "Fall
break"?  The days change each year, but are known 6 months early.
Could the changes be made only a month or two ahead (while current loans
are out and might show a due date on Thanksgiving)?
