Aaron et al,

 

I think that including a statement from a public library director would add credence.

Subject: [SWANboard] Tribune Article on Orland Increases

 

SWAN Board:

 

In case some of you have missed the article, I thought I would share with you the Chicago Tribune article which noted the large increase in circulation.

SWAN of course was mentioned in it, negatively of course. They cannot resist that.

 

The RAILS Leadership team felt that it portrayed consortium in a bad light, so Dee suggested she write a letter to the editor about the topic of resource sharing. I offered to help with the letter. Dee also was thinking that it would be good to have a letter from a SWAN library director.  Any thoughts on if a letter should be sent or if we should approach a library director. Dee was thinking of David Seleb, mostly because of a large public library joining SWAN.
