Sierra-StaffTools

Collection of Tools for Sierra ILS Libraries

This is the start of a collecion of staff tools for Sierra ILS Libraries. The heart of this repo is the functions file where i'm building all the code to make the magic happen. The first commit is a webapp to allow staff to create patrons. There is a lot of code that is specific to our library system and in the future I'll code switches into the config file to be able to strip those out. An example is we want to know what polling district you are from so I have code to geo-locate your address and if it's in our of our wards, we set it in a PCODE.
