[aisle] Destiny--Quarantine and Hold requests

[Stephanie Flott]

I just created a user called Monday Quarantine, Tuesday Quarantine, etc..
as a book gets returned I check it out to the current day of the week. I
also have labeled spaces on tables to place them for each day of the week.
Then, I know books returned on Monday can be checked back on Friday, etc..
That has worked really well for my Pre-K through 12 school.
