Before the Weekly Update: Calendar Accuracy Check

Before the weekly WhatsApp update goes out, staff do a quick accuracy check. This is about making sure the calendar information is correct — not about the wording of the final message.

What staff verify

  • ✓ Dates are correct for every event.
  • ✓ Start and end times are correct.
  • ✓ Locations are correct.
  • ✓ Registration details are accurate (required, preferred, none, by appointment).
  • ✓ Registration links work and point to the right event.
⚠What staff do NOT verify
Staff do not check or edit the wording of the final weekly message. Ariel/Admin handles formatting and automation. Your job is to confirm the underlying event information is right — the system turns that into the message automatically.

How to run the check

  1. 1. Open the Event Dashboard and review upcoming events for the week.
  2. 2. Compare each event's date, time, location, and registration against the library calendar.
  3. 3. Fix any errors directly in the event's details.
  4. 4. Note any changes in the event's Internal Notes or Discussion.
  5. 5. Tell Ariel/Admin when the calendar is confirmed accurate.
✓Good to know
Once the calendar is confirmed accurate, Ariel/Admin runs the weekly update. You do not need to write or format the message yourself.
