Talking with the State Library Board

Wednesday, July 22nd, Cindy Schweinfest, Darlene Jackson and Misty Jones attended the meeting of the South Carolina State Library Board. We'd been asked by our representative to send some staff members so that the Board could acknowledge of the hard work of CCPL staffers. The three of them, plus Jamie Thomas and I, met to discuss their very short (5-7 minute) presentation. Jamie pulled together an outstanding packet of statisics and materials and off they went.

By all accounts it was a success. The Board was interested and impressed to hear what we were doing, and loved the packets. Cindy talked about usage, Misty about services, and Darlene about programming and outreach.

I'm pleased that we had the opportunity and appreciate the hard work and preparation that went into this.
