Re: [SWANboard] REMINDER: Looong Board Meeting This Month!

by Brande Redfield

So, thus far for lunch I have a request for Sicilian-style cannoli, soup, grinders and hoagies, and cocktails. Should I also order surf & turf? It IS a long meeting...

Franklin Park Public Library District

by Aaron Skog

SWAN Board & Staff: I want to provide you a quick overview of a positive situation for SWAN. The Franklin Park Public Library approached me over the summer about SWAN membership. Currently they are a member of the LINC consortium of 9 libraries. I discussed the situation with Carol Dawe, Administrator of the LINC consortium, during our conference in Utah. The LINC board and member library directors were made aware of the developing situation. Franklin Park originally was a member of the DuPage Library System, but with the library system merger (resulting in the creation of RAILS), the options available to the library to switch consortia membership emerged. The library borders SWAN libraries nearby, so the Franklin Park library board has been interested in switching to SWAN for some time prior to contacting me. This decision was essentially driven by geography. As a first step, the Franklin Park Public Library took board action last week on October 14 to terminate the LINC membership. Until that took place, I was asked to keep this confidential. The board approved the termination with LINC for July 1, 2016. The Franklin Park Library Board agenda is posted here: http://www.franklinparklibrary.org/pdfs/agenda/Agenda2014oct.pdf Next month we will need to discuss Franklin Park for membership approval, the RAILS LLSAP grants, and project timeline. I will work with Franklin Park on the next round of RAILS LLSAP grant funding. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.

Director Orientation

by Brande Redfield

Hi SWAN Board, Here is the current orientation guide that we have for new board members. The "checklist" is attached to the email - this is the agenda of topics to cover during a formal orientation. We can also provide a binder of SWAN documents, or if the new board member prefers a virtual experience, the link below has an 'Orientation Documents' section at the bottom: https://support.swanlibraries.net/content/swan-board-committees The tour and introductions component could either be done at the beginning of a board meeting, or if the new member(s) can come a little early we can do it before. We are also happy to meet with them on a separate occasion. That is the format as it stands now - any feedback is greatly appreciated! :) Brande Redfield SWAN Office Manager 125 Tower Drive Burr Ridge, IL 60527 Phone: 630.734.5164 Fax: 630.734.5056 brande.redfield(a)railslibraries.info<mailto:brande.redfield@railslibraries.info> http://support.swanlibraries.net
