School Libraries in a COVID-19 world

Announcing a new page on this website, and new features for Abraquest to facilitate efficient library operations in a post COVID-19 world.

Our mission here with Abraquest is to provide the best possible support that we can to school libraries to help you keep track of your books, efficiently manage your library, and encourage pupil reading. Especially in these difficult times.

We have made a page on our website - Covid 19 Best Practices for school libraries, that over the coming weeks will be updated to include information and knowledge on operating your school library post COVID-19. Please do contact us if you have anything to add to this page.

We have also introduced a fast track system to get any suggestions you make for the software developed, tested and released as quickly as possible - usually in just a few days, to allow you to continue operations without problems or hassle.

The first idea has come from a new customer - Athersley North Primary School - to have a quarantine option on Abraquest that keeps track of books returned and only allows you to re-issue when quarantine is up.

As always, Abraquest Software Assurance customers get all updates for free, along with a free month for the school making any suggestion that is added to the software.

Any questions or suggestions? Please contact us.
