The E-Pustakalaya team has planned to start the new year by introducing new features to our website and upgrading much of our system. Some of these features are easily noticeable by users, while some will be running in the background (I don’t want to ruin the surprise, but we are hoping that it is what our users want).

With the constant expansion of our content and features, it is only natural that our system would require further upgrades. We want to make sure that these changes will appear on Jan 1st; hence, we will be closing down our regular service for a week (Dec 26–31). This year, we have had a lot of feedback from our users—most of them have provided us with suggestions about certain features that would add to the overall user experience. We value the feedback we get, and we will be trying to include all these features and much more by Jan 1st.

This festive season, as Nepalis celebrate Christmas, Tol Lhosar, Tamu Lhosar, and the start of the year 2012, we hope our maintenance work will not dampen the holiday spirit.

Wishing and thanking all our users the very best, we leave knowing that we will see you all at the start of 2012!
