CONTINUING EDUCATION/ MEETINGS
Lindsey Ganz attended the SCLS delivery meeting by phone and a discussion was held about delivery procedures when there is inclement weather. Routes were canceled or modified a few days in January and February due to the weather in the South Central System and in the northern Wisconsin routes. Delivery service priorities for the 2019 budget were discussed as well as courier standards for our materials being transported outside of our delivery service. The Library Board Meeting was rescheduled last month to February 19 due to inclement weather.
