[Koha] Setting the calendar/due dates KOHA

[Barbara Keef]

We are setting up our calendar and circulation parameters. We're having 
trouble figuring out how to "make it do" what we are accustomed to, but I'm 
starting to wonder if there is no way to do that...

In our current system, we allow books to check-out for 3 weeks. We "count" 
the days that we are closed, so an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be 
due on Monday the 23rd.

The only time an item going out on a Monday wouldn't be due on a Monday is 
if the library has a holiday on that day... in which case, we would roll the 
due date forward to the next day that we are open.
But otherwise, patrons can usually tell when their items will be due based 
on what day of the week they came in. Does that make sense?

As far as I can tell, that system won't work in Koha. If we tell Koha that 
items circulate for 21 days, but that we are closed on Sundays, the computer 
doesn't count the Sundays... an item going out on Monday the 2nd would be 
due on Thursday the 26th. Is that the way it works for your library?

Thanks,
Sally
