[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Hourly Due Dates and Fines Ignore Closings

[Michele Morgan]

We are wondering how other libraries are working around this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1064679

In short, for hourly loan periods and fine rates, library closings are
ignored in the calculation of due dates and fines. Fines are charged even
though the org unit setting to charge fines when the library is closed
(circ.fines.charge_when_closed) is set to FALSE.

Our academic libraries circulate reserve items for a few hours at a time
and charge substantial fines by the hour. This bug results in items being
due after the library closes, and fines accruing prior to the library's
opening that must be identified and cleared.

How are other libraries managing this?

Thanks for any input,
Michele
