Libraries manage a lot each day, from room bookings and program registrations to reporting, patron questions, and community events. In our Q2 2026 product updates webinar, we shared several improvements designed to make those daily tasks easier for staff and smoother for patrons.

Here are the highlights.

Easier Website Integration

We highlighted improvements to WhoFi’s website integration tools, especially for libraries using WordPress or similar platforms.

The integration page now includes clearer links and copy-and-paste options, making it easier to display WhoFi services on your library website, including:

• Community Calendar events
• Available spaces
• Pass reservations

This helps patrons find programs, request rooms, and view available passes directly from your website, while reducing extra manual steps for staff.

More Flexible Recurring Schedules

The webinar also covered new custom recurring schedule options for Community Calendar events and Spaces bookings.

Staff can now create recurring items that happen:

• On multiple days each week
• Every few weeks
• Monthly by date or day pattern
• For a set number of occurrences
• Until a specific end date

A preview shows the recurring dates before the item is saved, helping staff confirm the schedule before it goes live.

This is useful for program series, recurring community group meetings, workshops, classes, and seasonal events.

Smoother Forms for Patrons

WhoFi forms now help guide patrons through the process more clearly. After a library card validation step, the form automatically scrolls to the remaining questions.

This is especially helpful for longer registration or booking forms, where important questions may appear farther down the page. Patrons are less likely to miss required fields, and staff have fewer incomplete submissions to follow up on.

Easier-to-Read Display Options

Libraries can also choose how calendar items appear for staff and patrons:

• Text on colored blocks
• Colored dots with text on a white background

This gives libraries more control over readability and accessibility.

Small Updates That Help Staff Work Faster

A few smaller updates were also included in the webinar.

Browser tabs now have clearer labels on popular WhoFi pages, which makes it easier for staff to move between bookings, registrations, reports, and calendar pages when several tabs are open.

The Community Calendar archive also now displays longer event titles more clearly, making it easier to review past programs and find the information staff need for planning or reporting.

Unified View and Community Connectors

We also introduced two larger updates: Unified View and Community Connectors Help and Tutorials.

Unified View brings events, space bookings, and pass reservations into one calendar view.  Unified View Launch Post

Community Connectors is our new help, support, and tutorial space with short videos, product updates, webinar recordings, and searchable resources.  Community Connectors Launch Post

These Q2 updates were shaped by real feedback from libraries and community spaces. We hope they help your team save time, stay organized, and keep focusing on the community you serve.
