SWAN Member Libraries,
The June Quarterly agenda and packet is posted for the meeting on Thursday, June 4th at 10 a.m.
https://support.swanlibraries.net/sites/default/files/meeting/20_06_04/6691…
This meeting will largely be an opportunity for library directors/administrators to network and hear from each other on the various stages of reopening. This will be an online meeting with cameras, chat, and the ability to share and ask each other questions.
The GoToMeeting link is posted on the agenda. You can dial-in too if you do not have access to online video on Thursday-that number and access is posted at the bottom of the agenda.
Stay safe and healthy everyone!

As many libraries begin curbside service and limited reopenings, it may be helpful for ILL staff to gather and discuss how COVID-19 has impacted your operations and what the immediate future might bring to interlibrary loan operations. Our quarterly ILL Users Group meeting is Wednesday, June 3rd, from 9:30-11. We will have open discussion and sharing on how our libraries are planning and reintroducing services.
