Several thousand patrons got an account expiration notice yesterday which maxed-out our email quota with Gmail. I’ve turned off all Polaris notices, including holds notices, until tomorrow when our 24-hour quota period resets. If you receive calls from patrons who say they have not received notification for a hold that’s become available, let them know that we’re aware of the issue and that notices will be back to normal tomorrow. Emails that get sent via our website, including appointment confirmations, have temporarily been switched to send via the city’s mail server and are currently working as normal. In order to avoid this issue when patron accounts expire again, patrons with expiration dates between now and the end of August 2021 have had their expiration dates spread across September and October 2021.
