Junior Librarian is on the move!

Latest cracker from ESS (albeit Reading Cloud)...

 

My librarian logged on to Junior Librarian today and received the following message (which I've since found as a Reading Cloud Knowledge Base article dated June 20, 2025):

 

"Junior Librarian is on the move!

Junior Librarian has a new home!  Junior Librarian will be moving to a new URL and joining Reading Cloud"

 

It gives a 'junior.readingcloud.net' URL which when clicked gives you the helpful message...

 

"The site you are trying to access does not exist. Please check your URL."

 

OK, so not live yet... Then it says:

 

"What you need to do

Firstly, make sure you are using the best URL to access your library , bookmarks or favourites might need to be updated"

 

Here it gives you a link to 'Best URL to use to access Junior Librarian'

 

Which is in fact a link to an old Reading Cloud knowledgebase article telling you how to modify the old Microlibrarian.net  link for your school...

 

Finally it says 'before we go live with the change towards the end of June ensure your proxy and firewall has been updated either just add the exception  *.readingcloud.net on port 80/443 or explicitly allowing https://junior.readingcloud.net. ' 

 

Towards the end of June... So, I'm supposed to telepathically determine what day in the next week all this is going to happen? When I have to update all the shortcuts on the teachers laptops... if we going to lose access to the old site immediately... will it look different... are there any training documents... are they porting over all the information (books/users)...?

 

I'm presuming yes on that last one, but a solid switch over date would be nice...

I thought "On the Move" was about adult literacy.
