Q1 2026 Webinar and Product Updates

At libraries and community spaces, even small improvements can have a big impact. When staff can move through daily tasks more easily, patrons get a smoother experience, programs run more efficiently, and teams spend less time working around process issues.

That’s what this latest round of WhoFi updates is all about.

In our recent quarterly updates webinar, we shared a set of improvements designed to help partners save time, simplify workflows, and manage programs, spaces, and reporting with more confidence. These updates were shaped directly by partner feedback and built around real day to day needs.

Here’s a quick look at what’s new:

• More consistent account navigation
  Headers across WhoFi have been unified to make pages feel more familiar and easier to use.
• New Quick Add button
  Staff can now create a calendar event, space booking, or pass reservation from anywhere in the account.
• Improved search tools
  Search is now easier to access, helping staff quickly find bookings, patrons, and reservation details.
• One click PDF downloads
  Staff can now download a useful visual calendar of all events to keep on their desk for patrons
• The Today button is back
  A small change that makes a big difference when staff need to jump back to the current schedule fast.
• ILS verification for registrations and bookings
  Libraries can now require library card verification for selected space reservations and event registrations.
• Seasonal hours
  Partners can set different building hours in advance for summer, winter, or other seasonal changes.
• Custom space schedules
  Spaces can now have alternate schedules for renovations, special availability, or temporary closures.
• Organization names on bookings
  A new default field makes it easier to display the name of a group instead of just an individual.
• Minimum booking length rules
  Great for makerspaces, labs, or rooms that need longer reservation blocks.
• And More!
  Several other enhancements were discussed during the full webinar

What ties all of these updates together is usability. They’re designed to reduce manual work, make policy enforcement easier, and give staff better tools for serving patrons and managing operations. Whether your team is running programs, coordinating bookings, tracking attendance, or communicating closures, these changes are meant to make the work a little easier.

We’re grateful to our partners for continuing to share feedback, questions, and ideas with us. That input helps guide what we build, and it keeps WhoFi focused on what matters most: practical tools that support your staff and strengthen the experience for your community.
