March Maintenance Magic
Spring cleaning isn’t just for closets and inboxes. At Springshare HQ, it’s time for March Maintenance Magic – a dedicated moment to review your security game plan and make sure everything is running exactly as it should.
Strong security doesn’t happen by accident. It happens through small, consistent actions taken by your whole team. A few simple updates now can significantly reduce risk later – and that’s a win for everyone.

If you still use a spreadsheet to schedule staff, this post is for you!
We won't deny the usefulness of spreadsheets for all sorts of data, but creating library schedules that cover desks, events, time off, and last-minute changes far exceeds the capabilities of a formula. It leaves you with an intense logic puzzle to solve and maintain – leading to overwhelm.
Thankfully, you can ditch the spreadsheets and use LibStaffer for a staff scheduling solution designed for your library.
