The Situation: Our library's room checkout suddenly shorted to a hard limit of 6:00pm. I discovered that last year's spring break hours were listed in the Hours Open table and last year spring break occurred earlier in March.

The Problem: Entries in the Hours Open table do not include the year. If the year was included, hour checkout issue wouldn't have been an issue.

Solution #1: Add the ability to include the year to Hours Open table. Default to the current year but have the ability to change the year.

Solution #2: Revamp the Hours Open table. Modifying the Hours Open using a table is antiquated. Reprogram the option to include a graphical date picker. Include repeat options like: every Wednesday, the first of the month, monthly, yearly, etc.
