Everyone-
We have still not received submissions from some of our SWAN Libraries. If you have already completed and submitted the Days Closed form, please disregard this email.
Every year around this time we request that libraries notify SWAN of their planned "Days Closed" dates for the coming year. There is a web form on the SWAN website designed for this purpose. You need to be logged into the SWAN website to view the form in the dropdown list. http://swan.railslibraries.info/node/add/days-closed If you haven't completed this form already, please do so soon. And please continue to use this form during the year to update the SWAN "Days Closed" table for your In-service days or any other closings not anticipated at this time. Thank you for your cooperation.

SWAN Libraries:
The Illinois Century Network (ICN) has fixed the problem at their core network. SWAN is back online. We recommend waiting for 30 minutes of stable activity at your library before sending in the Offline Circulation data.

SWAN is DOWN. The Internet connection with ICN is lost. We have no phones available, SWAN website is unavailable. Connections come up briefly, and might be affecting member libraries on ICN as well.
Please let everyone know that we are attempting to correct this with ICN and utilize our backup Internet service provider.
We are up and down periodically, so please use Offline Circulation until we are stable.

SWAN Member Library Directors/Administrators:
SWAN has an open position on the SWAN Board effective immediately. The position of "At-Large" library director has been vacated by Christine Kuhn who has left her position at Westmont Public Library to pursue a library business consulting career. Christine regrets leaving the SWAN Board but hopes to continue helping libraries in a different capacity. SWAN Bylaws require a special election be held to fill the vacated position on the Board.
Self-nominations will begin October 30th and end November 13th at 12:00 pm. The election will take place for two weeks, Monday November 18th - November 29th (5:00pm close).The new board will be announced the week of December 2nd via SWANcom.
The SWAN Board Nominating Committee has approached several library directors interested in running in the special election, however any director can submit a statement of interest for this election. The goal is to have an open process. Any library director/administrator interested in running for the Board should fill out the form below:
