SWAN Board, Today we met with all the SWAN staff and reviewed changes to the departments and our staffing plan. I have attached a PDF document for the SWAN Board to review prior to Friday's meeting. I will be making a membership announcement tomorrow and include a version of this document. Please note this version has on the cover "For SWAN Board" which includes some background information on the position changes on pages 6 and 7 that will not be included in the membership document version. These changes were a combined effort of the management team. Please feel free to reach out to my directly if you have questions or comments. Regards, Aaron Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * 630-326-7022 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 swanlibraries.net<https://swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>

SWAN Board 02/15/19 Regular Meeting Agenda and Packet Posted
by Aaron Skog 12 Feb '19

12 Feb '19

SWAN Board, The Friday, February 15th regular board meeting packet is now available to you: https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/19_02_15/6635… This packet is 66 pages long, and it has a recommendation on the SWAN Internet Access membership, the FY20 budget, and an update to the SWAN Circulation Policy. I have a draft of the March 7th Quarterly meeting agenda. One thing I neglected to include my written report was the reason for increasing the credit card limit. I believe I mentioned this at a prior meeting, but we are reaching the $10,000 limit each month more frequently. The Microsoft Azure monthly charges for "renting" server space is paid on the credit card, which has contributed to us reaching this limit. Best, Aaron Aaron Skog Executive Director aaron(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:aaron@swanlibraries.net> * (630)326-7022 SWAN Library Services 800 Quail Ridge Drive, Westmont, IL 60559 844-792-6542 swanlibraries.net<https://www.swanlibraries.net/> * catalog.swanlibraries.net<https://catalog.swanlibraries.net/>
