Vote to Approve Two New Libraries for SWAN Membership
by Aaron Skog 15 Dec '14

15 Dec '14

SWAN Library Directors: At the December Quarterly meeting, the SWAN Board presented a recommendation for approving the Franklin Park Public Library District and the Lansing Public Library. The addition of the two libraries would bring the total number of full membership libraries to 79. Both libraries are automated, and the migration and go-live for the two libraries would take place in 2016 (a year after SWAN's consortium-wide migration). For more information and to have your library cast its vote, please see the link below for information about these two libraries and the voting ballot. https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2014-12-15/library-directors-approve… Fifty-one libraries voting "affirmative" is required (2/3 of the membership) for approval of all new consortium member libraries. Please complete the vote by December 31.
