Very often we hear rumors and they turn out not to be true.   But sadly for us in this case the rumor is true, Renee Clanton is retiring from SWAN.

After only 30+ years, Renee has tendered her resignation to SWAN notifying us that her last day will by July 31^st , 2016. 

So, the good news is we have four months to try and find her replacement.  And the bad news is, we have only 4 months to try and find her replacement.   If you are a person in Circulation you have either met Renee at a meeting, spoken to her over the phone, or attended one the numerous workshops she has presented.  Renee has been solving problems for Circulation staff at SWAN libraries for over 30 years, to say she will be missed is an understatement  (probably one of the biggest understatements of all time).   

Plans for a reception honoring Renee’s contribution to SWAN is in the planning stages.  We will be certain to keep everyone in the loop as we firm up a date.
