[Web4lib] Library Staff Scheduler

[Sharon Foster]

Indeed! I hadn't even thought of multiple libraries in a system, since
I haven't yet worked in a system with branch libraries.

Is it ever the case that staff may be temporarily assigned to another
branch, not their "home" branch?

Are couriers thought of as assigned to a particular library, or are
they part of the larger system?

Thanks for your input!
