Hello SWAN board representatives—

The meeting agenda and packet for Friday is available via the link below.

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
