Back when we set our library closings for the year in October, we were under the assumption that the SWAN conference would take place on the third Friday in August as it has for the past few years. SWAN has announced that this year’s conference will be a week later on the 23rd. We had planned this as a closure date for the library so that our staff could all attend the conference as our August in-service day. I still think this is a very worthwhile event for us to attend as a staff and would like for the library to be closed on the 23rd instead of the 16th.
Recommendation: I recommend that you approve the library closing date of August 23, 2024 instead of the previously approved August 16, 2024.
