<div dir="ltr"><div>Hey folks,</div><div><br></div><div>We're currently scheduling libraries for switchovers beginning in August (although there is a small number that already completed this, and about half of this email applies to them as well). To do a switchover, we need<b> two things</b> from you. You generate both items in your LocalHop super admin interface. Even if your library has already switched over, we will still need the second item from you!</div><div><br></div><div><font size="4"><b>1. The RSS feed URL </b>(Many of you have already sent this to me!)</font></div><div><div>We need the URL of your LocalHop calendar's RSS feed. You can generate this in your LocalHop administrative interface (see image below). </div><div><br></div><img src="cid:ii_mrj4f9lf1" alt="localhop-rss-screenshot.png" width="542" height="323" class="gmail-CToWUd gmail-a6T" tabindex="0" style="cursor: pointer; outline: 0px;"><br><div></div><div>Please <font color="#ff0000"><b><i>do not</i> </b></font>pick any event categories or age groups--just leave those blank, as shown. If your library has multiple locations, be sure those <i>are</i> checked. When you complete this, you should have a URL for the RSS feed. Please send that to me.</div><div><br></div><div><b style="font-size:large">2.

There will be a snippet section on their left side navigation, and they'll be able to add different snippets based on if they have multiple branches or they are just not. Every account will see the option to add a My Calendar and a Community Calendar. Those with multiple branches will see a third option for adding a <a href="https://support.getlocalhop.com/localhop_kb/district-calendars" target="_blank" style="">District Calendar</a>. </i></div><ul style="display:flex"><li style="margin-left:15px;font-family:Aptos,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><i>A My Calendar will show only the events for that library or that specific branch.</i></li><li style="margin-left:15px;font-family:Aptos,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><i>A District Calendar will allow them the option to pull in all or a combination of some of their branch locations.</i></li><li style="margin-left:15px;font-family:Aptos,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><i>A Community Calendar will allow them to add other organizations within the area outside of the library to contribute to a shared calendar.</i></li></ul><div style="direction:ltr;font-family:Aptos,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:rgb(0,0,0)"><i>I imagine the Community Calendar will not be utilized as much, at least initially, but I wanted to provide some context about what it is. So each library will just need to click to add the calendar that they're interested in, and then they'll have a few options in the <a href="https://support.getlocalhop.com/localhop_kb/calendar-types" target="_blank">layout</a> and filters that they want to provide. </i></div></div><div><br></div></div><div>Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly with any questions.
