Hi SWAN Board reps-
I am happy to share with you that Dorothy Koll, Director of Acorn Public Library District, has accepted the appointment to the seat Charity has stepped down from. Dorothy has been added to this email list. Welcome Dorothy!
My next steps are to send calendar appointments to all of you with the library board meeting host addresses and dates.
I will also be updating the board member list.

This email list is set to hold replies from board members for moderation, just as a point of clarification. I can release any emails sent to the list or modify the entire list to not use moderation.
Regards,
Aaron

Hello SWAN board representatives-
The meeting agenda and packet for Friday is available via the link below.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/meeting/89014
This packet is fairly long-a total of 85 pages-and there are a few items of note:
* I shared in the Executive Director's report that we discussed internally if the Operations Report should be restructured, so as you read that Operations Report, keep that new structure I provided in my written report in mind
* There are two usability studies in the packet that I hope are interesting to see how in depth we research changes to the Aspen Discovery catalog
* The board meeting date for August will likely be cancelled, as this has been kept on the calendar as a "just in case" date
* Think about having your library host two board meetings-we have been going to one board member's library two months in a row, and then rotate
* The MessageBee proposal that I noted last month as under research is ready for you to review!
Please let me know if you have any questions about the meeting packet contents. We will be meeting at Midlothian Public Library at 9:30am.
Regards,
Aaron
