Hello Library Directors & Administrators-
SWAN will hold an online Committee of the Whole meeting next week Tuesday, October 4th at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom to review the proposal to enhance the library notifications SWAN provides users via email and SMS/text with MessageBee.
The Zoom link and proposal is posted online with the agenda on the publicly available SWAN Support page below..
https://support.swanlibraries.net/meeting/91552
The proposal to add the MessageBee service from Unique Management was introduced at the September SWAN Quarterly meeting. This Committee of the Whole meeting is intended for those library representatives that will vote on the proposal at the December 1, 2022 Quarterly meeting (to be held in person at Oak Brook Public Library) to learn about the service, the new expense, and ask questions. Representatives from Unique Management will participate in the presentation next week and answer questions.
I look forward to seeing you online!

Hello everyone,
We are planning our 2023 calendar for our library user groups and have created a survey to gauge membership interest in additional groups. The link to the survey is on the news post below.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2022-09/91702
For background, during our user group overview session at the SWAN Expo held this summer, there was expressed interest and suggestions from attendees in additional user groups. Our user groups are member-led, so the survey does seek individuals interested in being a chair or co-chair of the group.
