SWAN Board, Sharing with you all some news shared yesterday with LINC libraries. This is great news for Carol, considering the circumstances she was in. I am discussing some options with LINC Board President Dawn Bussey to assist them, seeing as that LINC only has two PT staff and one contracted staff at the moment.

LLC is one of 9 library cooperatives in the state of Michigan. It supports 42 libraries in 8 counties in Western Michigan. The focus is governance, advocacy, continuing education and managing an ILS. (They will be searching for a new one!) This is very bittersweet. I have loved my time at LINC but I am very excited about this new challenge and the timing could not be better. I will start in Michigan on the 1st of February. An end date here will be determined but EVERY EFFORT will be made to make this a smooth transition. Thank you for all your support these many years.
