Drop-in events with various times.

This improves the patron experience by making it easier to see the dates and times available to register for an event.
Room Booking Notifications for Staff
Previously, library staff configured as room reviewers received a daily reminder to review bookings. To better support library workflows, Admins can change the Notification Timing setting so they are sent a notification when a booking request is submitted. This field is found on the Advanced page in the Room Booking settings section.
