Follett Destiny?
by Mary Harrison 21 Aug '19

21 Aug '19

Hello Library Land, Is anyone else using Follett Destiny? I'd be interested to hear if you are having any issues. We are planning to upgrade to Windows 2019 and set up new computers for public and staff. We have been limping along with Windows 2007. However, according to Follett, their newest version of Destiny doesn't go beyond Windows 2008. I am wondering if they plan to get out of the circulation system game entirely-we plan to ask them. Anyone else doing upgrades and having this concern? We have to upgrade finally, but Destiny might not be able to come with. Depending on how it goes, I may soon send out another email asking for advice on new systems! Thanks for responses, Mary Mary Jean Harrison Library Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center Street P.O. Box 430 Coloma, MI 49038-0430 269-468-3431 The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library staff. Timothy Healy

My name is Patricia O'Mara and I am the principal of St. Joseph School in Pewamo. I have a collection of National Geographic Volumes. They are yearly collections of the National Geographic Magazines placed within a book binding. The years range from the 1930's, the 1940's, and the 1950's. Would you be interested? Please let me know...it is so disturbing to discard any books. Thank you for your consideration.
