+Available dates for reading rooms can be pulled from Aeon via the request broker by setting the `REACT_APP_ENABLE_READING_ROOM_SELECT` environment variable. Not setting this environment variable or leaving it blank will disable this feature. Setting this environment variable to any string will activate it.
