Due Date Display
It would be helpful to display due date(s) for item(s) in the location drawer. This would enable staff and patrons to see this info in one step when they select the item's location.

We have patrons who frequently ask for this. I do think it would be helpful for people who would maybe be willing to place a hold if it were coming back soon, but would move on if it isn't due back for a while. I agree that this feature being optional would be helpful as well.

I would want this to be optional. While at first I wanted it (it displays in classic WebPAC), I then realized that it's cut down on patrons asking repeatedly about items close to or slightly overdue, as they focus on the due date ("that should have been returned last week!"). They now just see it checked out and place a hold vs. not placing a hold and pestering staff.
