GG4L Single Sign-On. Now you and your patrons can sign into Alexandria using your GG4L credentials, giving you one less username and password to remember.
New Patron Details. We have an all new Patron Details with improved organization, better design, and new interactivity! Also, cover art is now shown as the default. Thank you to everyone who filled out our survey and gave feedback.
Customizable Activity sign-in reasons. Activity is out of beta and now officially a part of Alexandria! With that comes the option to customize the reasons people are coming to your library in Activity Preferences.
Two patron email fields. We’ve split the old patron email field into two! Use the Primary Email to send notices, reset passwords, and match with your SIS. And use Other Emails to store additional emails for each patron.
