SWAN Library Directors/Administrators,
The voting in favor of the SWAN Joining Fee recommendation crossed the 2/3 threshold late afternoon on Thursday. The vote was 66 in favor, 9 against. The SWAN Board meeting agenda on Friday had an action item to ratify the membership vote. The Board approved the resolution. We have closed the voting.
We will now move forward with the vote to admit Green Hills Public Library District for full membership in SWAN. Look for the SWANcom email today.
Thank you all for participating!
