Add date filter/calendar to search results
It would be helpful to patrons if a calendar for selecting a date range appeared on the search results page. Many times patrons aren't searching for the next available program, they want to know what's happening next week or however far in advance. This could be either a relative filter (ie, 'next week', 'this week', 'next month', 'this month') or specific dates you could pick on the calendar. (Or both?)
It would also be helpful if filtering down those search results by date let us link back to them! For example, so we could do a search for all storytimes happening 'next month' or 'Feb 1-28' and send that to a patron who has asked rather than sending them to a search result and saying 'Okay start scrolling to find the date range you need.'

Add the ability to view search results as a calendar. It is currently not very helpful for customers to search for a specific event and then not be able to easily see when it is happening.
