+These dates are in addition to your regular weekly closed days. Both regular closed days and those entered in the Closed Dates Editor affect due dates and fines:
* *Due dates.* Due dates that would fall on closed days are automatically pushed forward to the next open day. Likewise, if an item is checked out at 8pm, for example, and would normally be due on a day when the library closes before 8pm, Evergreen pushes the due date forward to the next open day.
* *Overdue fines.* Overdue fines may not be charged on days when the library is closed. This fine behavior depends on how the _Charge fines on overdue circulations when closed_ setting is configured in the Library Settings Editor.
. Click the Calendar gadget to select the All Day date or starting and ending
dates.
. Enter a Reason for closure (optional).

+. Click *Apply to all of my libraries* if your organizational unit has children
+ units that will also be closed. This will add closed date entries to all of those
+ child libraries.

+[NOTE]
+By default, creating a closed date in a parent organizational unit does _not_ also
+close the child unit. For example, adding a system-level closure will not also
+close all of that system's branches, unless you check the *Apply to all of my libraries*
+box.
