All Omaha Public Library locations are closed on the 2nd Friday of each month for Staff Development until 1 p.m. Since the library does not open until 1 p.m., the new scheduling software does not allow us to put any reservation blocks on the calendar. Instead, we allow walk-in reservations on a first-come/first-serve basis as staff time permits.
Reservations start at 1 p.m. and end at 4 p.m. with no exceptions.
At Abrahams Branch, Sundays are set aside to clean and maintain Do Space equipment, restock supplies, and prepare the space for the week ahead. This helps ensure tools are safe, reliable, and ready for everyone to use. This time is also used for training as staff continue to learn about the equipment.
Our new software uses appointment blocks in predetermined amounts of time. It does not allow users to choose a start time for their reservation outside these set blocks of time.
