[OPLINLIST] What in the World is SWON Libraries?

[SWON Libraries]

*This announcement has been posted to several lists.  Our apologies for 
any duplication.

Greetings,

After posting program announcements to this list last week, we received 
several responses asking "Who or What is SWON Libraries?"  We wanted to 
clutter the list with an explanation, so that you know more about us and 
why we are posting for you.

The Regional Library Systems of Ohio were reorganized this summer.  In 
place of the previous seven systems there will now be only four covering 
the entire State of Ohio: SWON Libraries (southwest), NEO-RLS 
(northeast), NORWELD (northwest), and SERLS (southeast).  You may 
remember the Greater Cincinnati Library Consortium (GCLC) from previous 
postings.  GCLC no longer exists.  The area that was previously served 
by GCLC will now be served by a new organization SWON Libraries 
(Southwest Ohio and Neighboring Libraries).

The headquarters of SWON Libraries is in Blue Ash, Ohio, which is north 
of Cincinnati and easily accessible from I-275, I-75, and I-71.  While 
many events are held at the headquarters location, SWON Libraries will 
also be scheduling programs throughout the 17 counties in the southwest 
corner of Ohio as well as the Northern Kentucky area.  Some of these 
locations may end up being more convenient for you or at least an easier 
drive, so please make sure to check locations as well when you are 
interested in the program topic.

You can see a complete list of our upcoming programs here:

One of the side benefits of the reorganization will be a closer working 
relationship between the four new regional systems.  We will be planning 
programs in cooperation with each other that will benefit library staff 
in Ohio and surrounding states.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact me.
