The meeting was recorded and may be viewed here: Evergreen Indiana Executive Committee Meeting – August 12, 2014 (One of our mics wasn’t picking up sound correctly, so the audio is a bit unbalanced, sorry!) A summary of the meeting actions will be distributed on the listservs later this week.

Member News

Beginning this week Mitchell Community Public Library (MTCPL) is undergoing a renovation project and portions of their collection will be unavailable until the project is completed. Thank you for your understanding!

Migration News

The North Madison County Public Library migration has been postponed until October 17-21, 2014. A modified cataloging freeze is anticipated during that weekend. Further information will be forthcoming as available.

Deadlines

We invite you to join us at a regional roundtable to share experiences, ask questions, meet counterparts at other nearby libraries, and make requests for policy updates and development. Staff members of all levels and involvement are welcome. Representatives for cataloging, patron services, development, and governance will all be on hand to discuss what’s important for your library and users. We hope you’ll join us for at least one roundtable and celebrate the Evergreen Indiana community!

Space is limited, so please (http://evanced.info/indiana/evanced/eventcalendar.asp) register if you would like to participate. Participants will receive recommendations for area restaurants if you wish to continue community building over a meal after the scheduled meeting!
